Friedrich Samuel Bock (20 May 1716-30 September 1785) was professor of theology at [[Königsberg (Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia)|Königsberg]]. In his two-volume work, <em>Historia Antitrinitariorum maxime Socinianorum ex fontibus magnamque partem monumentis et documentis manuscriptis</em> (Regensburg and Leipzig, 1784), he named men like [[Denck, Hans (ca. 1500-1527)|Denck]], [[Haetzer, Ludwig (1500-1529)|Haetzer]], [[David Joris (ca. 1501-1556)|David Joris]], [[Adam Pastor (d. 1560/70)|Adam Pastor]], and various Dutch Mennonites as opponents of the doctrine of the [[God (Trinity), Doctrine of|Trinity]]. This book apparently became the foundation for later traditional church history. It was mentioned as a source in all important textbooks and was extensively used. Nevertheless Bock's assertions should be checked with special care.
