The Catechism of the Bohemian Brethren
Overview
Credited with starting the modern mission movement and inspiring the events of the Reformation in the sixteenth century, the Moravian Church formed after leader John Huss (Jan Hus) was burned at the stake for promoting church reform. Huss championed such ideas as justification by grace through faith alone, full communion for laypeople, and adoption of the liturgy to the common language of the people. After his death, his followers fought and died to protect those ideas in what came to be known as the Hussite Wars.
The Bohemian Brethren devoted great attention to catechisms, and made constant use of them when giving religious instruction, especially to the young. In their German Confession, published at Wittenberg in 1573, they say, “In addition to the Holy Scriptures, we teach the Catechism, that is, the doctrines which the old Church and the holy Fathers held in common, and the oral instructions which they delivered, constituting the kernel of, and the key to, the entire Bible.” This volume contains an English translation of a German catechism first published in 1522.
