Letters of John Huss, written during his exile and imprisonment : $b With Martin Luther's preface; and containing a general view of the works of Huss

A remarkable window into the mind of a 15th‑century reformer, this volume gathers the private letters John Huss wrote while he was exiled from Prague and later confined in prison. Addressed to friends, fellow scholars, and ordinary believers, the missives reveal his daily concerns, heartfelt encouragements, and steadfast devotion amid mounting opposition. By preserving his informal, candid voice, the collection lets listeners sense the personal side of a figure often remembered only for public controversy.

The book opens with a thoughtful preface by Martin Luther, who situates Huss within the broader sweep of Christian renewal. The letters range from appeals to the College of Cardinals to comforting notes for his Bohemian congregation, all threaded with a simple, unwavering conviction that “faith is life.” Listeners will hear the gentle optimism and deep piety that guided Huss as he faced exile, providing a vivid portrait of a man whose private thoughts helped shape the Reformation’s early currents.
