I leaned on that link heavily for the post because I found it to be one of the most fair and most thorough accounts of the life, trial, and execution of Servetus. I must admit, a lot of what I write about the Servetus incident comes from books, memory, and actively engaing in this argument innumerable times. But, here are few good links.

Wikipedia is suprisingly balanced in its treatment.

Also see: here, here, here, here, and here. These are all short articles, but pretty good. I know there is more stuff out there on the web, but I'm on a fairly new computer (my old one died) and I have to recompile some of the resources.

Thanks ray. I will bookmark those for later when I need to debunk the Servetus issue and can’t find you. :) It is amazing how quickly the ad hominen starts when Calvin is discussed and people can’t readily refute his theology. The whole Servetus issue is all they have been told and told so many times that without even checking out the facts, they come to hate Calvin and all he believed in as well as those who share the same beliefs. Often it is the same people who whine because the teaching of their “saints” are misunderstood. The measure you use to judge shall be...

Thanks again. Looking forward to reading through them. And I certainly understand about getting a new computer.
