The followers of the martyred Bohemian priest Jan Hus (1371-1415)
formed one of the greatest challenges to the medieval Latin Church.
Branded as heretics, outlawed, then forced to fight for their faith
as well as their lives, the Hussites occupy one of the most
colorful and challenging chapters of European religious history.
The essays reprinted in this book (along with one here first
published in English and additional notes) explore the essence of
the early Hussite movement by focusing on the nature and
development of heresy both as accusation and identity. Heresy and
Hussites in Late Medieval Europe first examines the definition of
heresy, and its comparative nature across Europe. It investigates
the unique practices of popular religion in local communities,
while examining theology and its unavoidable conflicts. The
repressive policy of crusade and the growth of martyrdom with its
inevitable contribution to the formation of Hussite history is
explored. The social application of religious ideas, its
revolutionary outcomes, along with the intentional use of art in
pedagogy and propaganda, situates the Czech heretics in the
fifteenth century. An examination of leading personalities,
together with the eventual and more formal church administration,
rounds out the study of this remarkable era.
