Produktbeschreibung
The Church: De Ecclesia is a book written by John Huss, a Czech theologian and reformer who lived in the 14th and 15th centuries. The book is a treatise on the nature and purpose of the Church, and it is considered one of Huss's most important works. In The Church: De Ecclesia, Huss argues that the Church is not a physical institution or hierarchy, but rather a spiritual community of believers who are united by their faith in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes the importance of the Bible as the ultimate authority for Christian doctrine and practice, and he criticizes the corrupt practices of the Church hierarchy, such as the sale of indulgences and the accumulation of wealth.Huss's ideas were controversial in his time, and he was eventually excommunicated and burned at the stake for heresy. Nevertheless, his writings had a profound influence on the Protestant Reformation that would follow in the 16th century.Overall, The Church: De Ecclesia is a seminal work of Christian theology that continues to be studied and debated by scholars and theologians today. It offers a powerful critique of the institutional Church and a vision for a more authentic and spiritually grounded community of believers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
