The Bohemian reformer Jan Hus is an important figure for understanding both previous and later developments of the medieval church. This book probes the heart of Hus's theological views concerning the human conscience, justice, and truth by examining his legal appeal to Jesus Christ against the pope and canon law and his preaching.
