This paper deals with the alleged Arianism of Eusebius of Caesarea (ca. 250-339), author of the first Ecclesiastical History. The charge of Arianism was common since the breakout of this heresy in the second decade of the 4th century. While the shrewdest opponent of the Arians was Athanasius the Great, he does not associate Eusebius directly with the rest of the followers of Arius. It is, then, useful to come out with the new treatment of the Arians. These new ramifications are based on the twofold concept of the Arian, as either someone taking part in the political actions of the group of Eusebius of Nicomedia and Arius, or someone sharing the most important theological notions with Arius. The whole argument is to show that Eusebius of Caesarea in neither of the two senses can be justly recognized as an Arian. His political defense of Arius is motivated mostly by the idea of new era of peace in Church. It just started with the arrival of Constantine. On the other hand, his theological views are deeply rooted in the theology of Origen, and not up-to-date exegesis of the Scriptures. The old historian, exegete and apologist was too busy with his preoccupations to be a part of the Arian movement.

John Crell (1590-1633) was one of the most influential representatives of the intellectual school of the Polish Brethren. For many years he worked as a lecturer at the antitrinitarian Rakow Academy, and his writings were known throughout Europe. His idea of tolerance laid out in the treatise On the freedom of conscience was particularly interesting and in all likelihood influenced John Locke’s concept of tolerance. The purpose of this article is to present Crell’s protoliberalism, which emerges from his idea of tolerance. This protoliberalism consists of a number of values, concepts, and insights that will eventually become the constitutive traits of modern liberal thought.

The article sketches the life and work of a German anti-Trinitarian theologian, Christopher Sandius Jr. (1644-1680). Sandius Jr. was well educated by his rigorous father, Christopher Sr, a highly positioned government official in the Ducal Prussia, who was later removed from his office for anti-Trinitarian sympathies. Sandius Jr.'s activity spread into various European countries, including: England, Germany and the Netherlands where he earned his living as an editor and translator. However his greatest interest remained in theology and church history and he became well-recognized among European intellectuals. For the Protestant and Catholic Orthodox, Sandius Jr. was highly controversial because of his view that Arianism was the very climax of the theological thought of the Early Church. He remained in good terms with exiled Polish Socinians (Andrzej Wiszowaty, Stanislaw Lubieniecki), being however engaged in polemics with them on the problem of the pre-existence of Christ which they denied. Sandius Jr. also enjoyed close relationship with Benedictus Spinoza especially at the end of his life when he became known as one of philosopher's most faithful followers. Between 1676-1680 he even defended author of the 'Tractatus theologico-politicus' in his vast correspondence with a famous Catholic theologian and philosopher Pierre Daniel Huet.
