The Banned Book Harvard Tried to Hide

A book so controversial that Harvard locked it away.
The Racovian Catechism, first printed in 1605 Poland, denied the Trinity and demanded that faith should follow reason—not authority. Europe banned it, burned it, and hunted down anyone who read it.

But by the 1800s, copies slipped into America. Harvard Divinity School and early Unitarians quietly studied it, and its radical ideas helped shape debates on freedom of belief and religious tolerance in the United States.
