I am sorry to see such imprece statemnt from someone who usually is know for
his meticulous scholarship. This is not to justify Calvin's actions in any
way, but only one person, Servetus, was condemned to the pyre by the Geneva
consistory (and not by Calvin's personal decision, although he did not exactly
oppose it). Servetus was certainly not a Lutheran, but rather a Unitarian
(avant la lettre) who had denied the Trinity.
