Prague, Jan Hus and Prague University Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

Contextualizes the Czech Reformation in the setting of Prague University. The Czech Reformation offered a radical solution to the spiritual and institutional crisis of the late medieval church at the end of the fourteenth century.

The beginnings of this reform are distinctly connected with Prague University, which drew many educated people to Prague from across Europe.

Through John Hus—a former Prague University student who became its rector in 1402—the Czech Reformation gave rise to a new, radical ecclesiology.

Not only did Hus challenge the hierarchical system of the church, but under his influence, the Czech Reformation acquired a specific national shape, and elements of Czech messianism emerged with the university. Prague, John Hus and Prague University explores that sentiment within Prague University, as well as its limits and restrictive consequences for the Czech Reformation and Czech medieval society.

Emphasis is placed on showing how Prague and the university became a world that existed outside the Christian ecumenism of the time.
