HISTORICAL AND THEOLOGICAL COMPARISONS, CONTROVERSIES AND POLARITIES IN WORKS OF MARCUS ANTONIUS DE DOMINIS

Summary/Abstract: Marcus Antonius de Dominis was one of the most distinguished fi gures and personalities at the turn of the 16th into the 17th century, and he excelled both in the fi elds of the natural and theological sciences. He was first the bishop of Senj and later the archbishop of Split. M. A. de Dominis was predominantly occupied with the question of why Christianity was so divided in itself among its numerous churches and denominations. Generally speaking with regards to his day and age: in the last two decades of the 16th and the fi rst quarter of the 17th century the main concern pertaining to religious thought was the clash between the two concepts around which the Church was organized. In his quest for the truth, De Dominis always questioned the original thought and the teachings of Jesus Christ himself in order to ascertain which of these two ways was the correct one. Therefore, de Dominis sought the third way in the form of religious tolerance.
