Synopsis
Excerpt from The Council of Constance: And the War in Bohemia; Published Under the Direction of the Committee of General Literature and Education, Appointed by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge
Great events are Of slow production, as well as, consequently, of rare occurrence. That great work of Providence, the Reformation, was not effected at Once, nor brought forth without preparative and painful throes. Luther's and Cranmer's Reforma tion, though, when viewed as one, embracing all we popularly mean by the word, was neither the only nor the first Reformation: it indeed towers SO high, and. Looms so broadly on the eye of imagi nation, that we are apt to overlook both the re moter progressive heights which lead up to it, and the basis of gradual inquiry and heroic self-sacri fice for the truth on which it rests.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the dramatic arrival of Jan Huss, a theologian whose ideas would ignite revolution, to the Council of Constance in 1414. Hus and his supporter, Jerome of Prague, were central players in the Bohemian Reformation, their quest for reform driven by the writings of John Wycliffe. This book examines the many influences that led to the Council of Constance, the Great Papal Schism, and the election of John XXIII, the anti-pope who called the Council. It offers a detailed account of the Bohemian Wars, sparked by the execution of Jan Huss and Jerome of Prague, who were burned at the stake for heresy. This book provides an accessible and detailed look at this fascinating period in European history when one man's ideas had profound effects on Christianity and Western Civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
