On the eve of the 600th anniversary year of the martyrdom of John Hus, Moravian Archives Winston-Salem has published John Hus -- Martyr for the Faith, a brief biography on his life, beliefs, and tragic death. The softbound booklet (44 pages with map, illustrations, time line, and copious notes) is a reprint of chapters three and four of Faith, Love, Hope, Daniel Crews's 2008 history of the early Moravian Church.The Rev. Dr. Crews is well steeped in the life and legacy of John Hus. He began his scholarly career with a Ph.D. on the theology of John Hus, did further study in Prague learning Czech, Hus's native language, and now has retired as Archivist of the Moravian Church, Southern Province with publication of this little booklet. Aside from thoroughly knowing his subject, Daniel Crews writes in a style that takes even the most complex issues of medieval time and brings them down to earth for today's casual reader to understand.And so this booklet is a perfect introduction to one whose death 600 years ago in 1415 shaped and inspired religious thought down the ages to today with his clarion call of service to Christ over human institutions.
