The Reformers Before The Reformation: The Fifteenth Century, John Huss And The Council Of Constance

By Émile De Bonnechose

Book Overview

The book ""The Reformers Before The Reformation: The Fifteenth Century, John Huss And The Council Of Constance"" by Emile De Bonnechose is a historical account of the events leading up to the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. The book focuses on the 15th century, a time when the Catholic Church was facing increasing criticism and calls for reform from within. The author examines the life and teachings of John Huss, a Czech religious reformer who was burned at the stake for heresy in 1415. The book also explores the Council of Constance, a gathering of church leaders that took place from 1414-1418 and attempted to resolve the schism within the church. De Bonnechose provides a detailed analysis of the political and religious factors that led to the Council of Constance and the subsequent execution of John Huss. The book offers insights into the early stages of the Protestant Reformation and sheds light on the complex relationship between religion and politics during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
