John Hus

John Hus was the accused. But his testimony put a whole civilization on trial.

John Hus died singing, July 6, 1415

The history books make little mention of this Bohemian priest and scholar who lived 100 years before Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Yet, John Hus was convinced that the Bible should be presented in the language of the people, that salvation comes by faith in Jesus Christ, and the Word of God is the final authority. He taught openly in the University of Prague and as a pastor, challenging the abuses of medieval Christendom.

Intrigue and false promises weave a powerful story of one man's commitment to faith in Jesus Christ. In the end, Hus was accused, imprisoned, and charges with heresy. Ultimately, he was condemned and burned at the stake as a heretic.
