The Racovian Catechism

Published in Polish at Raków by the Polish Brethren, the catechism set out the teaching of Faustus Socinus, who had died the year before. It denied the Trinity, Christ's preexistence and eternal deity, and Christ's satisfaction for sin, while teaching that Christ, a true man exalted by God, is to be honored. Translations carried its ideas across Europe.
