John Huss Collection (7 vols.)

John Huss (also known as Jan Hus or John Hus): Bohemian priest, reformer, and martyr. Influenced by the teachings of Wycliffe and supported by fellow theologians at the University of Prague, Huss was an early advocate of church reform. He preached Wycliffe’s ideas, championing doctrines such as justification by grace through faith alone, full communion for laypeople, and adoption of the liturgy to the common language of the people. A precursor to the Reformation of the sixteenth century, Huss is perhaps best represented in an early Moravian hymnbook picture showing Wycliffe seizing a torch, Huss lighting it, and Luther holding it on high.

The John Huss Collection contains seven volumes dedicated to the life and work of John Huss and the impact he had on Christendom. The Letters of Jon Hus contains 82 annotated letters by Huss, including letters written just before his execution in 1415. The Church is considered his most important work; from its pages the charges were drawn upon which he was pronounced a heretic at the Council of Constance.

This collection also contains Count Lützow’s The Life and Times of Master John Hus, E. H. Gillett’s two-volume The Life and Times of John Huss; or, the Bohemian Reformation of the Fifteenth Century, David S. Schaff’s John Huss: His Life, Teachings, and Death after Five Hundred Years, and more.

The history of Bohemia and the influence of John Huss are vital to understanding the pre-Reformation atmosphere.
