Faustus Socinus's De Ecclesia is presented here in English translation. Faustus Socinus (1539-1604) is among the formative thinkers of Socinianism; his works are marked by a consistently Scripture-based and sober, argumentative examination of dogma and claims of ecclesiastical authority.

At the center of the treatise stands a controversy that remains pressing to this day: ecclesiastical authorities often secure doctrines, rites, and practical decisions by appealing to the Church, thereby deriving a claim to be incapable of error in matters of faith. Socinus targets precisely this shortcut. He opens up the seemingly conclusive formula (The Church cannot err-and we are the Church) and makes its assumptions visible: What is meant by Church in the first place? How can unity be conceived when Christians are scattered across countries and centuries? And what scope could any claim to freedom from error reasonably have?
