Fausto Paolo Sozzini, or simply Fausto Sozzini (Latin: Faustus Socinus; Polish: Faust Socyn; 5 December 1539 – 4 March 1604), was an Italian Renaissance humanist and theologian,[1] and, alongside his uncle Lelio Sozzini, founder of the Nontrinitarian Christian belief system known as Socinianism.[1][2] His doctrine was developed among the Polish Brethren in the Polish Reformed Church between the 16th and 17th centuries,[1][3][4] and embraced by the Unitarian Church of Transylvania during the same period.[1][3][5]

Fausto Sozzini recollected most of his uncle Lelio's religious writings by traveling over again his routes throughout early modern Europe, and systematized his Antitrinitarian beliefs into a coherent theological doctrine.[1] His polemical treatise De sacrae Scripturae auctoritate (written in the years 1580s and published in England in 1732, with the title A demonstration of the truth of the Christian religion, from the Latin of Socinius) was highly influential on Remonstrant thinkers such as Simon Episcopius, who drew on Sozzini's arguments for viewing the sacred scriptures as historical texts.[6]
