Description

This is the biography of man who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most influential figures in modern religious history.

John Huss was a preacher in 15th century Europe who amassed followers and made enemies due to his then radical views, condemning the extravagant wealth and unlimited power of the Catholic Church, and claiming that the only truth should be taken from Scripture.

A Papal bull excommunicated Huss but he continued to preach, until he was eventually lured by the Council of Constance and burned at the stake for false accusations of heresy, to which he responded “I would not for a chapel of gold retreat from the truth!”, and was heard singing psalms as he burned.

His execution ignited twelve years of what became known as the Hussite wars, and his teachings laid the ground for Protestant Reformation.
Author David Schaff narrates the life and death of Huss to the last detail. He describes how he began and rose to prominence, the aftermath of his execution, and the lasting effect his teachings have on European history.

“The Roman Catholic communion cannot forget that his personality and teachings occupied the attention of the famous Council of Constance and was the concern of the great theologians and churchmen of his age, and that his sentence to death as a heretic threatened the permanent alienation of Bohemia from the apostolic see and also involved that country in some of the most lamentable religious wars Europe has seen.”
