Six hundred years ago, the Czech priest Jan Hus (1371-1415)
traveled out of Bohemia, never to return. After a five-year legal
ordeal that took place in Prague, in the papal curia, and finally
in southern Germany, the case of Jan Hus was heard by one of the
largest and most magnificent church gatherings in medieval history:
the Council of Constance. Hus was burned alive as a stubborn and
disobedient heretic before a huge audience. His trial sparked
intense reactions and opinions ranging from satisfaction to
condemnations of judicial murder. Thomas A. Fudge offers the first
English-language examination of the indictment, relevant canon law,
and questions of procedural legality concerning Jan Hus and the
Holy See. In the modern world, there is instinctive sympathy for a
man burned alive for his convictions, and it is presumed that any
court sanctioning such action must have been irregular. Was Hus
guilty of heresy? Were his doctrinal convictions contrary to
established ideas espoused by the Latin Church? Was his trial
legal? Despite its historical significance and the strong reactions
it provoked, the trial of Jan Hus has never before been the subject
of a thorough legal analysis or assessed against prevailing
canonical legislation and procedural law in the later Middle Ages.
The Trial of Jan Hus shows how this popular and successful priest
became a criminal suspect and a convicted felon, and why he was
publicly executed, providing critical insight into what may be
characterized as the most significant heresy trial of the Middle
Ages.
If you have ADHD, your brain doesn't work in the same way as a
"normal" or neurotypical brain does because it's wired differently.
You and others may see this difference in circuitry as somehow
wrong or incomplete. It isn't. It does present you with significant
challenges like time management, organization skills,
forgetfulness, trouble completing tasks, mood swings, and
relationship problems. In Your Brain's Not Broken, Dr. Tamara
Rosier explains how ADHD affects every aspect of your life. You'll
finally understand why you think, feel, and act the way you do. Dr.
Rosier applies her years of coaching others to offer you the
critical practical tools that can dramatically improve your life
and relationships. Anyone with ADHD--as well as anyone who lives
with or loves someone with ADHD--will find here a compassionate,
encouraging guide to living well and with hope.
