The book ""The Church: De Ecclesia"" by John Huss is a theological treatise that explores the nature and role of the Christian church. Huss was a prominent figure in the 15th century Bohemian Reformation, and his ideas about the church were influential in shaping the Protestant Reformation that followed.In this book, Huss argues that the true church is not a physical institution, but rather a spiritual community of believers who are united in their faith in Jesus Christ. He also emphasizes the importance of scripture as the ultimate authority for Christian doctrine and practice, and criticizes the corruption and abuses of power that he saw within the medieval Catholic Church.Huss's ideas about the church were controversial in his own time, and he was eventually excommunicated and burned at the stake for heresy. Nevertheless, his writings continued to inspire reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, and his legacy lives on in the Protestant churches that emerged from the Reformation.Overall, ""The Church: De Ecclesia"" is a significant work of Christian theology that offers insights into the history and development of the church, as well as the ongoing debates and discussions about its nature and purpose.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1915 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The correspondence of the Czech theologian John Hus shed light into the religious and political upheavals of his time, as Bohemian church reformers and traditionalists vied for influence.Hus sought to change the church's principles, opposing a number of Catholic opinions on topics such as the Eucharist and ecclesiology. A gifted and eloquent philosopher, his explanations roused the spirits of both nobles and the larger population alike. Those in favor of Hus's ideas were termed Hussites; this group believed in their reforms, which they considered to better reflect Christian values for the Bohemians. Yet the Catholic Church rejected the ideas, setting the stage for lengthy, protracted and violent conflict between Rome and the Bohemian authorities.The letters herein reveal Hus's thinking in detail. We learn how he arrived at his conclusions for theology, through his explanatory writing to church officials both locally in Bohemia and abroad. Hus encouraged his followers, asking them to preach under the influence of God's divine will, rather than that of the existing church hierarchy. Some letters address villages or towns who were either curious toward, supportive or opposed to the reforms Hus espoused. Notes appended to each letter clarify references, that the history and complexities of the time be understood.
