Servetus: The Radical Reformed Musical

Michael Servetus (1511-1553) wrote his brilliant religious treatise, “On the Errors of the Trinity,” at age 21. His beliefs would be pretty tame today. He worshipped a loving God, believed in human beings’ inherent worth and dignity, and followed Jesus. But his writings were so offensive to church fathers in his own time, Reformed Church leader, John Calvin, had him burned at the stake. Rev. Dennis McCarty wrote Servetus: The Radical Reformed Musical several years ago, and is once more taking it on the road as a one-person presentation of dramatic reading and original songs. The dozen songs in Servetus range from blues to jazz to rock ’n’ roll—even some unplugged heavy metal. Sounds like a performance not to be missed!
