Talk:Socinianism

What's the difference
How does Socinianism differ from Psilanthropism? Should the two articles be merged? 24.126.199.129 05:41, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

NPOV?
You probably won't ever buy it, but to call a unitarian belief "antitrinitarian" comes across as POV. To me it would be like starting the Christianity article by saying it is a form of Judaism (there have been several which state the Messiah has come, but I have no idea what a word for the collection of such groups of Jews is). Unitarians believe god is one, trinitarians three. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.196.9 (talk) 20:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * More: only two links, and both of them anti-socinian! Not NPOV for certain! As for belonging to "Christianity" we should ask themselves - trinitarians don't generally accept anti-trinitarian views as belonging to "Christianity", but that is a matter of terminology. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 08:17, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

jargon
It would be good to distinguish between necessary jargon, which can be briefly defined in the body of the article, and unnecessary jargon which just makes the article unreadable. Johncmullen1960 (talk) 06:25, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Pronunciation
How are Socinian and Socinianism pronounced? Is the c hard, like a k or does it sound ts like in Sozzini, or socksinian, like in succeed or soft s or ch? Apuldram (talk) 14:08, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It's pronounced with a "s" sound, I believe.Don Bodo (talk) 14:54, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

According to Noah Webster, the c in Socinian is pronounced as an s, not as a k. See his "Blue-backed speller" or The American Spelling Book containing the Rudiments of the English Language for the Use of Schools in the United States, Brattleborough: Holbrook and Fessenden, 1824, page 9. In it, Webster wrote that "…c is always sounded… like s before e, i, and y.” In "Socinian" the c appears before an i and is therefore pronounced like an s, not like a k.96.235.138.157 (talk) 14:02, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Ye Olde Pedante
