Rudolf Scholten und Wolfgang MaderthanerGESCHICHTSSCHREIBUNG ZWITSCHEN MYTHEN UND LEGENDEN – FOLGE 9Zentraleuropa im späten Mittelalter: Kirchenkrise, Pogrome, apokalyptische RevolutionäreAn der Wende vom 14. zum 15. Jahrhundert durchlebt Mitteleuropa turbulente, von Machtkämpfen und kriegerischen Konflikten geprägte Zeiten. Das Habsburgerreich ist nach dem Tod Rudolfs IV. von Nachfolgekämpfen geprägt, die Besitzungen für fünf Jahrzehnte auf eine Albertinische und eine Leopoldinische Linie aufgeteilt. Die römisch-deutschen Könige stellt seit Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts das Fürstengeschlecht der Luxemburger. Die römisch-katholische Kirche steckt in einer tiefen Krise: 1378 kommt es zur Kirchenspaltung, dem sog. Abendländischen Schisma, eine Zeit lang amtieren sogar drei Päpste, die Klöster verkommen. In Böhmen steht der Theologe und Prediger Jan Hus gegen den moralischen Verfall der Amtskirche auf, fordert tiefgreifende Reformen und findet in kurzer Zeit eine große Anhängerschaft in der Bevölkerung und auch unter böhmischen Adeligen. Auf Drängen des deutsch-römischen Königs Sigismund, Herrscher über Ungarn und Kroatien, findet 1415 das Konzil von Konstanz statt, um die Kirchenspaltung zu überwinden. Dies gelingt zwar, aber die Hinrichtung von Jan Hus als Ketzer – dem Sigismund freies Geleit zugesagt hatte - löst die Hussitenkriege aus. In diesen entladen sich nicht nur religiöse sondern auch nationale (deutsch-tschechische) und soziale Spannungen. 15 Jahre erschüttern die Kämpfe zwischen den Hussiten und den Kreuzzugsheeren König Sigismunds und des Papstes Böhmen und die angrenzenden Länder. An vorderster Front kämpften bei den Hussiten die radikalen Taboriten, die Maderthaner als „Gotteskrieger des Mittelalters“ beschreibt. Militärischer Anführer der anderen Seite war Habsburger-Herzog Albrecht V., verheiratet mit Sigismunds Tochter Elisabeth von Luxemburg. Zur Finanzierung seiner Feldzüge begeht er einen grausamen Tabubruch: Er veranlasst die Enteignung und Vertreibung der jüdischen Bevölkerung Wiens, deren Vermögen er einzieht. Zugeständnisse der Kirche ermöglichen 1434 einen Frieden mit gemäßigteren Fraktionen der Hussiten, die radikalen Taboristen werden auf dem Schlachtfeld besiegt. Sigismund wird auch von den Böhmen als König anerkannt. 1437 stirbt Sigismund, Erbin der Thronansprüche im deutschen Reich, in Ungarn, Böhmen und Kroatien ist seine Tochter Elisabeth. Profiteur ist Albrecht V. von Österreich. Als Ehemann Elisabeths folgt er seinem Schwiegervater als römisch-deutscher König nach, und Ungarn, Böhmen und Kroatien werden Teil des Habsburgischen Herrschaftsgebiets.

In this sermon by Carolyn Wilson on Reformation Sunday, the focus is on the enduring impact of the Protestant Reformation and its central theological pillars, known as the "five solas." Wilson begins with a historical overview, describing how the early Christian church endured persecution and how, over centuries, its rise to power in Europe led to widespread corruption and spiritual neglect. Courageous reformers like John Wycliffe and Jan Hus challenged these abuses, laying the groundwork for Martin Luther and the Reformation movement. Carolyn highlights each of the five solas: grace alone counters self-sufficiency; faith alone frees believers from the pressure to earn salvation; Christ alone affirms Jesus as the exclusive mediator; Scripture alone stands as the infallible authority; and to God alone be the glory places all honor with God rather than personal achievement. She connects these principles to challenges in contemporary culture, urging believers to maintain vigilance, humility, and faithfulness. The sermon concludes with a call for continual reformation within the church, emphasizing that the Reformation is not just history but an ongoing movement. Carolyn encourages believers to anchor themselves in biblical truth and live out these principles so that the light of Christ can shine brightly in today's world.

In this interview, I'm joined by Dr. Ian Christopher Levy to discuss freedom of conscience in medieval Catholic theology. We pay special attention to how this medieval theology showed up in the trial of Jan Hus, the Great Western Schism, and the condemnation of Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms. Dr. Ian Christopher Levy (Ph. D. Marquette University) is Professor of Historical theology at Providence College. He is a leading expert in medieval biblical exegesis, sacraments, and ecclesiology. His latest book, With a Pure Conscience: Christian Liberty before the Reformation, chronicles the development of the medieval conception freedom of conscience with special attention given to how freedom of conscience relates to church authority. With a Pure Conscience: https://amzn.to/3IBDTiNHoly Scripture and the Quest for Authority at the End of the Middle Ages: https://amzn.to/4gLng0UWant to support the channel?

Závěrečná část série věnované různým rolím Mistra Jana Husa se zaměřuje na poslední léta a jeho mučednickou smrt. Církevní historik Jiří Sladký přibližuje v rozhovoru s Kateřinou Hodecovou vývoj událostí, který vyvrcholil upálením v Kostnici a kterým dodnes Mistr Jan vypráví, že za Pravdou stojí za to jít i za cenu oběti. Tento podcast můžete podpořit na https://radio7.cz

Které písemné památky máme po Mistru Janu Husovi? Jakých literárních forem, jakého obsahu a pro koho byly psány? Předposlední část osmidílné série rozhovorů Kateřiny Hodecové s církevním historikem Jiřím Sladkým představuje Jana Husa jako literáta a autora mnoha význačných děl. Větší pozornosti se dostává zázraku středověké literatury Dcerka i ostrým Knížkám o svatokupectví, teologickému spisu O církvi a nepříliš známému Provázku třípramennému. Letní Řeky života připomínají Mistra Jana Husa, od jehož úmrtí letos uplynulo 610 let.Tento podcast můžete podpořit na https://radio7.cz

"Ideologické nátěry vždy vycházejí z neznalosti," říká církevní historik Jiří Sladký v rozhovoru s Kateřinou Hodecovou k rozličnému pojetí osobnosti Mistra Jana Husa během času. Kdo vše se zaštiťoval jménem Husovým? Byl Hus sociálním reformátorem? Z čeho jeho sociálně-teologické myšlenky vyrůstají? Byl v něčem radikální? Jak byly jeho ideje uchopeny dalšími generacemi?

"... všech prosím, aby byli ustaviční u Boží pravdě," završuje svůj poslední dopis z vězení adresovaný blízkým lidem Mistr Jan Hus. Jaký byl Hus jako duchovní průvodce? Které zásady považoval za klíčové pro pastorační péči? V dalším dílu série o různých rolích Jana Husa se Kateřina Hodecová a církevní historik Jiří Sladký zaměřují na Husa jako pastýře svěřeného stáda.

610 let nás dělí od smrti Mistra Jana Husa, významného muže českých i světových dějin, muže, který celý svůj život podřídil poznané Pravdě, tedy Kristu samotnému. Řeka života nabízí osm zastavení, vždy inspirovaných jednou jeho životní rolí. O Husovi coby teologovi a reformátorovi hovoří Kateřina Hodecová s církevním historikem Jiřím Sladkým a nahlížejí do Husových myšlenkových procesů.

Predigt. W.Köhler

Jan Hus war einer der wichtigen Frühreformatoren der Kirche in den Jahrhunderten vor Martin Luther. Als Prediger in der Bethlehemskapelle in Prag sprach er sich unter anderem für eine Armut der Kirche und gegen Ablasshandel aus. Er wurde 1414 unter Zusicherung von sicherem Geleit zum Konzil in Konstanz eingeladen, dort aber eingekerkert, gefoltert und schließlich auf einem Scheiterhaufen verbrannt. Daraufhin brachen die Hussitischen Kriege in Böhmen aus, die über lange Zeit die Kreuzzugheere, die gegen sie gesandt wurden, militärisch in Schach halten konnten. Als sich die Tschechoslowakei nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg als Staat konstituierte, suchte die Regierung nach eigenen nationalen Feiertagen, Gedenktagen etc. und natürlich spielte der „Nationalheld“ Jan Hus eine Rolle. Sein Wahlspruch „Über alles siegt die Wahrheit“ wurde in der Form „Die Wahrheit siegt“ Teil der Standarte des Präsidenten. Wie der Artikel aus dem Hamburgischen Correspondenten vom 19. Juli 1925 belegt, geriet man dabei mit dem Vatikan aneinander, der Hus immer noch als Ketzer ansah. So schildert uns Frank Riede die diplomatischen Verwicklungen zwischen dem päpstlichen Nuntius in Prag und der tschechoslowakischen Regierung. Übrigens ist Jan Hus seitens des Vatikans bis heute nicht offiziell rehabilitiert.

Je obecně známé, že Mistr Jan Hus byl lidovým kazatelem velkého dosahu. Proč byl tak úspěšným kazatelem? Jaká byla jeho kázání? Jací lidé na ně chodili? Lucie Endlicherová si povídá s církevním historikem Jiřím Sladkým. Letní Řeky života připomínají Mistra Jana Husa, od jehož úmrtí letos uplynulo 610 let.

Vydejte se na Karlovu univerzitu 2. poloviny 14. století a začátku 15. století. Seriál o Janu Husovi nahlíží na tuto mimořádnou osobnost českých dějin z různých úhlů. Tentokrát Kateřina Hodecová a církevní historik Jiří Sladký sledují Jana Husa jako učence, profesora a pedagoga. Letní Řeky života připomínají Mistra Jana Husa, od jehož úmrtí letos uplynulo 610 let.

Tak, a je to tu zas. Šestý červenec a s ním i ten trochu zvláštní státní svátek. Jan Hus, jako projekční plátno našich národních ambicí i mindráků, tužeb i zklamání.

I jeden člověk dokáže velké věci. Třeba vzburcovat celý národ. Nebo naopak proti sobě poštvat zbytek světa. Jan Hus dokázal obojí. Jeho upálení na kostnickém koncilu 6. července 1415 mělo být jen vedlejší epizodou v mnohem větším příběhu. Způsob smrti nebyl zvolený náhodou. Jako kacíře ho měl oheň před poslední cestou symbolicky očistit. Byl tu ale i druhý, ryze praktický důvod. Trest upálením církev volila i proto, aby Husovým stoupencům nezbylo nic, co by mohli uctívat.

In this weekend edition Czechia in 30 minutes, we visit the town of Konstanz, where Jan Hus was tried and executed in 1415. A small museum now stands in the house where he may—or may not—have stayed. Whether fact or legend, the site continues to preserve the story of a man who chose death over denying his conscience.

In this weekend edition Czechia in 30 minutes, we visit the town of Konstanz, where Jan Hus was tried and executed in 1415. A small museum now stands in the house where he may—or may not—have stayed. Whether fact or legend, the site continues to preserve the story of a man who chose death over denying his conscience.

In early 15th century, the execution of Jan Hus — a fiery preacher who dared to challenge the might of the Catholic Church in Bohemia — ignited a rebellion that shook medieval Europe to its core. The Hussite Wars were not just a fight for religious reform; they were an explosion of new ideas, military innovation and national identity that would echo across centuries.Dr. Eleanor Janega recounts this tale of heresy, revolution and a relentless quest for justice. From the thunderous defenestration of Prague's city council to the ingenious war wagons of Jan Žižka, discover how a movement of peasants, preachers and visionaries defied crusades, toppled kings, and carved out the world's first Protestant state.MOREAnne of Bohemiahttps://open.spotify.com/episode/19zx9ph2V4RtGOxnI50POxThe Czech Braveheart: Jan Žižka - Gone Medievalhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/59wq9imDllVuDj97YoPCxlGone Medieval is presented by Dr. Eleanor Janega.

Patrick engages with fascinating questions about the proper handling of ashes according to Catholic teachings, understanding the appropriate times for receiving communion and going to confession, and exploring historical details about Jan Hus. Soledad - If ashes are split, does the body rest. Do they rest in peace? Are they able to go over into eternity? (00:49) George - 1st Saturday Confessions. I don’t think we should be as flexible as you’re saying. (06:52) Valerie – What is the healing of memories? What is the process involved and is this valid? (08:52) Hank - At your first Confession, after being Baptized as new Catholic, what do you confess? Do I confess every sin I have ever committed? (12:15) Maria - If you attend Mass that is not Holy Day of obligation can you just go in and receive Holy Communion without attending Mass? (17:05) Andre - What did Jan Hus do that got him executed? (20:00) Lauren – Is it wrong to receive Communion in a Catholic Church if you are not member? (26:29) Diane (email) - Many thanks for your explanation today of mortal sins and how to respond to "how many times". This is a question I have looked for guidance in many spiritual books but the explanations never seemed to apply. You have opened my eyes that by avoiding to confess a mortal sin (out of shame) and then receiving communion I compounded my mortal sins. I'm going to confession today! (35:14) Sean – Our daughter is dating a Hindu. A priest told her boyfriend he didn’t have to become Catholic to get married. The priest told him to be the best Hindu he can be. They did get married in the Church. (36:32) Tina - Why can't anyone go to Confession, even if they are not Catholic? (46:26)

on todays show we talk about The discussion delves into the historical and theological impact of John Wycliffe, a 14th-century Oxford professor who challenged the Catholic Church's authority and practices. Wycliffe's reforms included advocating for laypeople to read the Bible in their own language, criticizing the church's wealth and corruption, and questioning doctrines like Transubstantiation. His influence extended to Jan Hus and later reformers like Luther and Calvin. The conversation also touches on the broader context of the Middle Ages, the role of scholasticism, and the political dynamics between the church and state. The speakers emphasize the importance of individual faith and the need for a balanced approach to religious authority and practice. In the conversation, Speaker 1 expresses gratitude and plans to exchange emails for further discussion. Speaker 2 emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context and opposing views of one's own theological beliefs, suggesting that this deeper understanding can lead to a stronger faith. Speaker 1 humorously mentions that marrying a Catholic could shake one's certainty. The discussion then shifts to a light-hearted comment about the significance of batteries in the context of AI development, with Speaker 1 joking that whoever masters batteries will have the best AI, implying that AI could replace the need for God. Glenn Cox clarifies the joke.  Do Not Miss IT!

Vydat, či nevydat? Otázka, která tento týden potrápila vládní poslance. Do poslední chvíle nebylo jasné, jestli Sněmovna zbaví imunity šéfa SPD Tomia Okamuru. Policie ho podezírá z přečinu podněcování k nenávisti vůči skupině osob kvůli plakátům z krajských voleb.„Tomio Okamura může slavit. Ať už se případ vyvine jakkoli, může to využít ve svůj prospěch. Mučedník Okamura, novodobý Jan Hus, bojovník za svobodu slova,“ říká Václav Dolejší.Ač pro Okamurovo vydání hlasovala nakonec drtivá většina přítomných vládních poslanců, rozhodování nebylo snadné. Vládní politici ho v kuloárech sněmovny řešili do poslední chvíle. Na vydání se neshodl ani mandátový a imunitní výbor, různé hlasy zaznívaly především z ODS.„Vládní poslanci si museli vybrat - buď se vystaví hněvu voličů, že si nedošlápli na Okamuru, nebo šéfovi SPD pomůžou v kampani. Hlavně premiér nabádal kolegy, že neodsoudit rasistický plakát by se voličům špatně vysvětlovalo,“ říká Lucie Stuchlíková.Jaký byl Tomio Okamura jako malé miminko? Proč má hnutí, v němž nejsou žádní rasisti, pořád nějaké opletačky kvůli rasismu?

“It is we, the followers of master Jan Hus, who are obeying the law of God, we who are the true followers of Christ. Thus therefore, who oppose us, oppress us, kill us, are themselves heretics, trying to thwart the will of God. Out of this deep, passionate conviction was born the determination not to yield, not to surrender, but to challenge if need be, all the forces of the religious and political order which had dominated medieval europe for nearly a thousand years, to fight it out against odds the like of which have seldom been seen in history”So it is written in the “Very Pretty Chronicle of the life of John Zizka” which tells the not so very pretty story of the war against the Hussites that is now heating up. Sigismund musters his crusading army in Silesia whilst the radical Hussites take to the hills and then take a hill.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

The Bohemians had already protested against the treatment of Jan Hus when he was arrested and anger was brewing throughout his trial. Hus hadn't come to Constance on his own. Several noblemen, including the brave knight John of Chlum had come along to support him. One these man, Petr Mladenovics returned to Prague shortly after the trial and recounted the proceedings in every little detail, complete with copies of letters and other documents. And from that the Bohemians concluded that there had been foul play. Lawrence of Brezowa summarized the view in Prague as follows: quote “Then on Saturday,[..], 6 July, Master Jan Hus, the scholarly bachelor of Holy Scripture, a man of shining virtue in life and morality and a faithful preacher of the gospel was sentenced to death and unjustly vilified by the Council of Constance. This was based upon the false testimony of the witnesses and the relentless instigations of master Štěpán z Pálče, doctor of Holy Scriptures and Michael de Causis, parish priest of St. Voijtech,[..] representing the Czech clergy and the influence of king Sigismund. This was done despite the fact that he was not given a proper hearing in which to prove his innocence” Bohemian Protest on Display | Rare Books & ManuscriptsThe music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

This episode emphasizes the critical importance of engaging with the Word of God as a foundational aspect of the Christian life. Pastor Dan explores Deuteronomy 6, highlighting the command to love the Lord with all one's heart, soul, and might while integrating Scripture into daily life. He encourages listeners to not merely read the Bible but to meditate on it, allowing its teachings to shape their worldview and decisions. By reflecting on historical figures like Martin Luther and Jan Hus, he illustrates the transformative power of the Scriptures and the sacrifices made for the accessibility of God's Word. As the new year begins, this sermon serves as a poignant reminder to prioritize Bible reading and deepen one's relationship with God through His Word.Andrew Rappaport, the host of the Rappaport podcast, kicks off the New Year by sharing a sermon he delivered at his home church, Oxford Valley Chapel. The sermon centers on the importance of studying the Word of God, especially as listeners embark on a new year filled with opportunities for spiritual growth. Rappaport emphasizes the need for Christians to engage with Scripture meaningfully, suggesting that the Bible is not just a book to be read but a vital resource for understanding one's faith and living it out daily. He draws from the teachings found in Deuteronomy 6, which outlines the commandments given to Israel, stressing that these instructions are not merely historical but hold relevance for believers today. Rappaport delves into the significance of the Shema, a foundational declaration in Jewish faith that underscores the oneness of God and the call to love Him with all one's heart, soul, and might. He reflects on the tendency of modern believers to take the Bible for granted, contrasting this with the historical sacrifices made by individuals who valued Scripture so highly they were willing to die for it. The sermon serves as a poignant reminder that true engagement with the Bible requires more than cursory readings; it demands a heart committed to understanding and applying God's Word in every aspect of life. Rappaport encourages listeners to not just read the Bible, but to meditate on it, allowing its truths to permeate their lives and guide their actions as they navigate the challenges and joys of the new year.Takeaways: Reading the Bible daily is essential for spiritual growth and deeper understanding of God. We must view life through the lens of Scripture to navigate challenges effectively. Moses emphasized the importance of teaching God's commandments to future generations. Engagement with the Bible should be about meditative reflection, not just casual reading. The historical significance of the Bible shows its transformative power in believers' lives. Our love for God grows as we understand His Word and what He has done for us.

Today the History of the Germans is honoured to host David Crowther, doyen of the guild of podcasters and host of the most excellent History of England Podcast. Wycliffe's writings were to prove controversial and proved an interesting early echo of the Reformation. They heavily influenced the view of Jan Hus and the movement in Bohemia. And his ability to develop and present those views owed a lot to Oxford University, and its desire to protect intellectual debate and investigation. Enjoy

“They will roast a goose now, but after one hundred years they will hear a swan sing, and him they will have to endure.” These were allegedly the last words of a certain Jan Hus whose surname meant goose and who was burned at the stake on July 6, 1415. Almost exactly one hundred years later a spiritually tormented monk, frightened by a vengeful God who sought to damn him, was assigned to teach the book of Romans at the new university of Wittenberg. And 2 years later this monk by the name of Martin Luther did (or probably did not) nail his 95 theses on the door of the Castle Church of that same town. As far as prophecies go, this must be one of the most accurate, assuming it was indeed true. But it wasn't just the foretelling of the next reformer that makes the trial of Jan Hus such a fascinating account. So much is foreshadowed in this tale, it is almost uncanny. The railing against indulgences, the wealth of the clergy, the pope, a promise of safe conduct, a trial, villains and archvillains, accusations upon accusations, defiance in the face of certain death and then the big difference to the diet of Worms, actual death. Have a listen, it is fun.

In this episode, Dr. Alan Strange examines more forerunners of the Reformation, focusing on key figures like John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, and Erasmus. The discussion with host Jared Luttjeboer explores these reformers' revolutionary ideas challenging the medieval Catholic Church, including critiques of church authority, biblical interpretation, and clerical corruption. Dr. Strange also highlights Wycliffe's groundbreaking assertion of Scripture as the sole criterion of doctrine, Hus's continuation of Wycliffe's reformist teachings, and Erasmus's critical yet nuanced approach to church reform.

Czy wiecie jaka jest historia chrześcijaństwa? Jak powstała ta religia oraz dlaczego się podzieliła? Dlaczego dzisiaj jest tak wiele religii chrześcijańskich? Ten odcinek zawiera uproszczoną wersję historii chrześcijaństwa w Europie. Musicie też pamiętać o tym, że dzisiaj w wielu krajach istnieje tolerancja religijna. To znaczy, że wyznawcy różnych religii tolerują siebie nawzajem. W przeszłości tak jednak nie było. Dochodziło czasem do okropnych rzeczy.Zacznijmy od samego początku. Kiedy zaczyna się historia chrześcijaństwa? Jezus został ochrzczony przez Jana Chrzciciela gdy miał około 30 lat. Trzy lata później został zabity. Ponieważ nasz kalendarz jest liczony od momentu kiedy Jezus miał się narodzić, tak więc dzień jego śmierci czyli rok 33 uznaje się za moment od kiedy istnieje religia chrześcijańska.Chrześcijanie byli bardzo długo prześladowani. Oznacza to, że zakazywano tej religii, palono jej księgi, np. Biblię, a samych chrześcijan zamykano do więzień oraz zabijano. Kiedy zakończyły się te prześladowania? W tamtych czasach w Europie rządzili cesarze rzymscy. To właśnie oni kazali prześladować chrześcijan. Nie wszyscy, ale wielu z nich, np. Neron, Domicjan, Hadrian, Trajan czy Dioklecjan. Te prześladowania zakończył cesarz Konstantyn Wielki w roku 313. Wprowadził on w cesarstwie tolerancję religijną. Tolerancja oznacza, że każdy może sobie wybrać jaką religię chce i nie będzie prześladowany.Dlaczego cesarz Konstantyn Wielki zakończył prześladowania chrześcijan? Tego cesarza wielu uznaje za pierwszego cesarza, który sam został chrześcijaninem. W 313 zakończył prześladowania chrześcijan. Rok wcześniej czyli w 312 odbyła się bitwa przy moście Mulwijskim. Podobno cesarz Konstantyn zobaczył wtedy na niebie krzyż i miał umieścić go na sztandarach swojego wojska.Konstantyn Wielki miał być pierwszym chrześcijańskim cesarzem. Po nim prawie wszyscy cesarze także byli chrześcijanami. Gdy jednak chrześcijan przestano prześladować zaczęli się oni dzielić na różne religie chrześcijańskie. Podział religii oznacza, że z jednej religii, z jednej organizacji religijnej powstają dwie mniejsze. Dlaczego jednak religie dzielą się? Są dwa główne powody. Po pierwsze religie dzielą się dlatego, że nie zgadzają się co do jakiejś nauki. Np. na soborze nicejskim w 325 spierano się o to czy Jezus jest Bogiem? Po tym soborze nastąpił podział na tych, którzy wierzyli w Trójcę i tych, którzy nie wierzyli w tą naukę.Drugi powód dla którego religie się dzielą to kwestia tego kto jest najważniejszy. Np. w kwietniu 1378 wybrano nowego papieża Urbana VI. Potem we wrześniu wybrano drugiego papieża Klemensa VII. Przez parę lat było dwóch papieży. Wszyscy katolicy dalej mieli tą samą wiarę, nauczali tego samego, np. nauczali o Trójcy. Jednak różne państwa uznawały różnych papieży np. Francja i Szkocja uznawały za papieża Klemensa VII, a Polska, Anglia i Niemcy Urbana VI.Te dwa przykłady pokazują, że czasami do podziału dochodzi gdy jest różnica w wierzeniach, np. czy wierzyć w Trójcę, a czasem gdy jest różnica w tym kto jest najważniejszy, np. kto jest papieżem. Jednak oba te podziały nie były trwałe. Chrześcijanie ponownie się połączyli w jedną religię. Były jednak trwałe podziały czyli takie które trwają do naszych czasów.Jaki był pierwszy trwały podział chrześcijaństwa? Cesarstwo rzymskie podzieliło się na część zachodnią oraz wschodnią. Na zachodzie mówiono po łacinie, a na wschodzie po grecku. W tamtym okresie było pięć najważniejszych miast chrześcijańskich. Biskupi tych miast byli uznawani za najważniejszych. Były to: Jerozolima, Antiochia, Aleksandria, Konstantynopol oraz Rzym. Gdy jednak powstał Islam muzułmanie zdobyli pierwsze trzy miasta: Jerozolimę, Antiochię i Aleksandrię i to przestały być chrześcijańskie miasta. O Islamie mówiliśmy w odcinku 123.Pozostały dwa główne chrześcijańskie miasta Rzym i Konstantynopol. Doszło do kłótni, kto jest ważniejszy czy papież w Rzymie, czy patriarcha w Konstantynopolu i 1054 roku doszło do wielkiej schizmy czyli wielkiego podziału. Powstał kościół katolicki na zachodzie oraz prawosławny w Konstantynopolu. Ten podział widać do dzisiaj i to nie tylko w religii. Na zachodzie używa się innego alfabetu niż na wschodzie Europy.Polska znalazła się w części katolickiej dlatego u nas używa się alfabetu łacińskiego, a Rosja była w tej części prawosławnej dlatego oni mają inny alfabet. Tak więc zachodnia Europa miała religię katolicką oraz alfabet łaciński, a wschodnia Europa miała religię prawosławną oraz alfabet grecki.W XVI wieku doszło do kolejnego podziału w Europie zachodniej czyli podziału w kościele katolickim. Co się wydarzyło?Odpusty to były opłaty za przebaczenie grzechu. Do czego kościół katolicki potrzebował tych pieniędzy? W tym czasie papierze chcieli zbudować Bazylikę św. Piotra w Rzymie i potrzebowali na to dużo pieniędzy. Jeden z takich wysłanników sprzedających odpusty pojechał do Niemiec.Marcin Luter był mnichem, któremu nie podobało się, że sprzedaje się odpusty.Podobno do drzwi kościoła w Wittenberdze przybił spisane przez siebie 95 tez przeciwko tym odpustom. Rozpoczął on reformację czy próbę zmiany kościoła. Nie był on pierwszy, bo przed nim takimi reformatorami byli John Wycliffe w Anglii i Jan Hus w Czechach. Marcin Luter miał jednak coś czego oni nie mieli.W 1455 Gutenberg wynalazł druk. Od tej pory można było wszystko drukować. Tak więc kiedy w 1517 roku Luter przybił do drzwi kościoła te 95 tez jakiś drukarz zaraz zaczął je kopiować i sprzedawać. W ten sposób idee Lutra się rozpowszechniły bardzo szybko. Wycliffe i Hus tego nie mieli ich pisma trzeba było przepisywać.Luter zapoczątkował powstanie religii protestanckiej. Ta nazwa pochodzi od tego, że Luter zaprotestował przeciwko odpustom. Później religie protestanckie podzieliły się dalej na wiele mniejszych religii, ale często określa się je właśnie jako religie protestanckie.Co zapamiętaliście?Kiedy w cesarstwie rzymskim zakończyły się prześladowania chrześcijan?Czy pamiętacie wszystkie główne podziały w chrześcijaństwie?Dlaczego cesarstwo rzymskie podzieliło się na dwie części?Dlaczego ten podział jest ważny dla religii chrześcijańskiej?Kto się pojawił w XV wieku?Kim był Jan Hus?Przeciwko czemu był Luter?Dzisiaj panuje tolerancja religijna, ale w przeszłości tak nie było. Dochodziło do wielu wojen z powodu religii. Np. gdy Luter stworzył religię protestancką doszło do wojny 30-letniej w Europie, podczas której kraje katolickie walczyły z krajami protestanckimi.Do podziałów religijnych dochodzi gdy dwie grupy mają różne wierzenia lub mają różnych przywódców. Np. jedni wierzą w Trójcę, a inni nie lub jedni mają jednego papieża, a inni drugiego.

Matthew Cain preaches on the background to the 16th Century Protestant Reformation, looking at the politics of Europe, the condition of the Roman Catholic Church, the influence of the Renaissance, the invention of the printing press, English Bible translations. and leading early Reformers like John Wycliffe and Jan Hus. He then gives an overview of the life and influence of Martin Luther. Reading: Rom 1:16.

In November 1414 30,000 academics and aristocrats, bishops, blacksmiths and bakers, cardinals, counts and chefs, doctors, dancers and diplomats, princes, prelates and public girls descended on a town in Southern Germany built to house 6 to 8,000 people. They planned to stay a few weeks, 2-3 months max. But 3 and a half years later most of them were still there. What did they get up to? The great tentpole events, the trial of John XXIII, the burning of Jan Hus and the election of Martin V is what the council of Constance is remembered for, but what about all that time in between?This world event was so much more than a papal election and the trial of a heretic. For 3 years Constance became a never-ending G20 summit, the greatest academic conference of the Middle Ages, a permanent imperial diet and the centre of the catholic church. Everybody who was anybody was there either in the flesh or had at least sent a delegation. Issues and concerns were brought before the council that still plague people today. Is it ever right to kill a tyrant, and if so, when can it be justified? What rights should be guaranteed for indigenous groups, in this case Pagans, and how should their dignity be protected? Other attendees sought justice for crimes committed against them or their families in a world where political murder had become commonplace. Others still demanded their reward for years of service, making the house of Hohenzollern the margraves of Brandenburg.Living cheek by jowl in tiny Constance the leading minds from across Europe, from the ancient universities of Paris, Oxford and Bologna as well as from the newly founded seats of learning in Krakow, Prague, Heidelberg and Vienna shared their ideas, opinions, books and discoveries, paving the way for the intellectual shift we call the Renaissance.Enough, me thinks to provide 30 minutes of great historical entertainment….Chapters:00:13 - The Council of Constance: A Gathering Like No Other03:31 - The Council of Constance: A Gathering of Minds08:16 - The Gathering of Intellectuals at Constance12:57 - The Role of Book Hunters in the Renaissance24:23 - Political Violence in the 14th and 15th Century29:56 - The Debate on Tyrannicide at the Council of Constance35:21 - The Council of Constance and Its ImpactThe music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comFacebook: @HOTGPod Twitter: @germanshistoryInstagram: history_of_the_germansReddit: u/historyofthegermansPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/HistoryofthegermansTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only...

“Master Jan Hus, preacher of the Holy Scriptures from the chapel of Bethlehem, was also present at this council, who in his preaching continuously criticized and exposed the hypocrisy, pride, miserliness, fornication, simony, and other sins of the clergy, in order to bring the priesthood back to the apostolic life. He was immensely hated by these pestiferous clerics.”This is how Laurence of Brezova introduced the great reformer and Czech national hero Jan Hus in his 15th century chronicle of the Hussite uprising. Why should we care about the trials and tribulations of another holy man railing against corrupt prelates and the subsequent “quarrel in a faraway country, between people of whom we know nothing”. Well, that quote itself should be reason enough. It is from Neville Chamberlain speech of September 27, 1938 weighing the importance of protecting Czechoslovakia against an expansionist Nazi Germany. But Jan Hus is interesting beyond his status as a towering figure in Czech history. When he came to Prague in 1390 he was just another ambitious young man from a modest background who wanted to rise up in the world on the back of intelligence and hard work. But by the time he leaves for his fate at the Council of Constance in 1414 he has been excommunicated, exiled and unwillingly or willingly be come he face of a brewing revolt against king and clergy. This is a story about collapsing certainties and emerging truths, about individual beliefs and institutional order. About what the community of the faithful is supposed to be and who is in and who is out. And its tentacles reach deep into the next centuries…The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comFacebook: @HOTGPod Twitter: @germanshistoryInstagram: history_of_the_germansReddit: u/historyofthegermansPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/HistoryofthegermansTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Program for 10/22/24 SAS Chapel: Reformation, Jan Hus

On 31st of October 1517 a hitherto unknown professor at the smallish university of Wittenberg published 95 theses. And by doing so, he unleashed a sequence of events that would fundamentally change the face of Europe and still defines communities and nations.The interesting question about the 95 theses is not why Luther rote them, but why they had any impact at all. Martin Luther stands at the end of a mile long queue of learned and sometimes less learned men who railed against the decadence of the church, called for a return to the actual text of the bible and demanded that the clergy lives like the apostles. But somehow the message on that fateful day in 1517 gained traction across the Christian world in a way no previous attempt had.Why? That is a question I believe will be the guiding line through the coming seasons. Something about the social, political, cultural, religious and economic landscape of early modern Germany must have provided the cinder on which protestant ideas could catch fire. You will now ask, why is Dirk talking about the Reformation. The last season ended on the 14th century, a good 150 years before “the day that changed western Christianity”. Aren't we supposed to go through this chronologically. Oh yes we are. But as we are moving forward at our accustomed pace we will hit the Hussite revolt that started in 1415. This religious uprising has so many common threads with Luther's reformation, it may be seen as a dress rehearsal for the actual Reformation. Luther himself declared in 1519 “Ich bin ein Hussite” I am a Hussite. Spoiler alert, the Hussite revolt did not lead to the fraction of the catholic church, but that makes it even more interesting. What were the circumstances that led the people of Bohemia and many other parts of the empire to take up arms to defend their convictions, how come they were successful and by what means could a reconciliation be achieved? Knowing that will help us understand why a 150 years later such a settlement failed to materialize, dividing Europe into Protestants and Catholics and spurning some of the bloodiest civil wars in history. To explore the causes and impact of this reformation before the reformation we will take a look at the decline of the house of Luxemburg, the emergence of the Ottoman empire, the creation of Burgundy as a political entity separate from France, the defeat of the Teutonic Knights and the great western schism with its resolution at the Council of Constance where amongst other things Jan Hus was convicted and burned at the stake. We will dive into Jan Hus' and his predecessor's thoughts and convictions as well as the military innovations of Jan Zizka and probably a lot more things I have not yet thought about.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comFacebook: @HOTGPod Twitter: @germanshistoryInstagram: history_of_the_germansReddit: u/historyofthegermansPatreon:

In Reclaiming the ‘Dark Ages': How the Gospel Light Shone from 500–1500 (Christian Focus), authors Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert challenge the popular Protestant perception of the Middle Ages as a period of spiritual darkness and theological decay. They argue that this millennium was not devoid of Christian influence and that it produced many significant and influential Christian thinkers. Wright and Imbert join us to present a more nuanced view of the medieval period, highlighting the spiritual and theological contributions of figures such as Bernard of Clairvaux, Anselm of Canterbury, and John Wycliffe, among others. They emphasize the continuity of orthodox Christian theology and the guiding hand of providence throughout this era, urging modern Christians to appreciate the historical richness and spiritual insights of the Middle Ages. Iain Wright is pastor of Covenant OPC, Orland Park, Illinois. Yannick Imbert holds the William Edgar Chair of Apologetics at Faculté Jean Calvin, Aix–en–Provence, southern France. He also serves on the theological committee of the National Council of French Evangelicals.
