This review is from: John Hus at the Council of Constance (Records of Civilization Sources & Study) (Hardcover)

Luther was honored to be deemed a "Hussite." Hus preceeded Luther and the real only difference Luther said was the time. Luther's was right for the Reformation, Hus premature.

Same guarantees made to both for the Councils. Luther wisked away after Worms, while Hus' fate not so good.

Amazing account from Hus scholar who has researched and written extensively about this event. Pope was even there and sneaked out in darkness of night rather than be party to the evilness that came over this council and the fateful tragic end of a real reformer of Christ's church.

Much of evidence Spinka cites is from letters from Hus and council documents. Excellent read for Reformation and Church History buffs. Worth expense of finding copy and securing.
