The Church: de Ecclesia (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781498161336)

The book ""The Church: De Ecclesia"" by John Huss is a theological treatise that explores the nature and role of the Christian church. Huss was a prominent figure in the 15th century Bohemian Reformation, and his ideas about the church were influential in shaping the Protestant Reformation that followed.In this book, Huss argues that the true church is not a physical institution, but rather a spiritual community of believers who are united in their faith in Jesus Christ. He also emphasizes the importance of scripture as the ultimate authority for Christian doctrine and practice, and criticizes the corruption and abuses of power that he saw within the medieval Catholic Church.Huss's ideas about the church were controversial in his own time, and he was eventually excommunicated and burned at the stake for heresy. Nevertheless, his writings continued to inspire reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, and his legacy lives on in the Protestant churches that emerged from the Reformation.Overall, ""The Church: De Ecclesia"" is a significant work of Christian theology that offers insights into the history and development of the church, as well as the ongoing debates and discussions about its nature and purpose.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1915 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
