Summa Universae Theologiae Christianae secundum Unitarios


Summa Universae Theologiae Christianae secundum Unitarios is a statement of faith of the Unitarian Church of Transylvania officially recognised by Joseph II in 1782.
The subtitle is in Usum Auditorum Theologiae concinnata et edita.
The work is traditionally ascribed to Mihály Lombard de Szentábrahám, who revitalized the church after a period of persecution during the 18th century. It remains the official statement of faith of the Unitarian Church in Transylvania, though since the 19th Century subscription to it is no longer required.

Theology

The document is basically Socinian with Arminian modifications.
The characteristic Christology of Laelio Sozzini, denying the pre-existence of Christ but accepting the virgin birth, distinguishes the document from the more progressive Unitarianism of Joseph Priestley and Thomas Belsham.
