Early modern anti-trinitarians, such as Michael Servet and Christian
Francken, criticized the Council of Nicaea (325) for having introduced
Trinitarian dogma and, therefore, initiated the decay of Christianity.
In this perspective, pre-Nicene theology provided a cradle and
confirmation for anti-trinitarian theology. This theological
historiography and its rebuttal by Protestants such as Franciscus Junius
and Amandus Polanus involved the construction of competing patristic
arguments. Several of these arguments are analyzed in this paper.
