Jan Hus, a Bohemian reformer, significantly impacted the medieval church through his views and teachings on Scripture, the church, faith, conscience, and spirituality. This book presents Hus's theological commitment, focusing on his understanding of truth. Lášek and Franklin explore Hus's preaching ministry and his legal struggle against charges of heresy, highlighting the ethical implications of his approach to truth. A new annotated translation of Hus's Appeal to Jesus Christ as the Supreme Judge against the pope and canon law is presented as a significant event in church history and European history. This document challenged papal power and expressed a fundamental new legal situation, representing a personal claim to freedom of conscience. This unprecedented principle in the medieval legal framework predated other related ecclesiastical and legal developments by several centuries. The authors argue that Hus's appeal represents a momentous event in church history and European history, emphasizing his continued importance for studying European history and understanding contemporary Western civilization values. Hus's martyrdom and commemoration by many churches throughout Europe further underscore his significance.
