Movie Reviews of John Hus
Movie Review: His Story Should Be Told More
Summary: 5 Stars
A big Hus fan, it is nice that the previously released VHS version is now on DVD.
Why this part of history should be viewed and taken to heart by the church is that history has strange phenomena of repeating itself. What this brief inquiry drama into Hus' life shows is what can happen when those in control and power of church are challenged. Silence their critics with force. I continually show this in Bible study class about history with the tie to Martin Luther. Luther was accused of being a Hussite. He was proud of this, for he knew full well that Hus was so similar: proclaimer of gospel by grace through faith, and promised free travel to and from the Diet, but in Hus' case the return trip was denied.
The politics of the church to suppress the truth is the master item to be gleaned from this well done piece. The tension for the viewer is strong at the end, when even then no one will answer specifically what this preacher has said wrong from God's Word that would require him to meet the flame. Then that beautiful singing as the flames begin to caress. Haunting! A lesson to be learned here.
Further interested in Hus will find scholar Spinka's works excellent, but expensive in most cases as are out of print.
Summary of John Hus
Here is an important chapter in the steps leading up to the Reformation. The history books make little mention of this Bohemian priest and scholar who lived 100 years before Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Yet, John Hus was convinced and taught openly that the Bible should be presented in the language of the people, that salvation comes by faith in Jesus Christ, and the Word of God is the final authority. He taught in the University of Prague and as a pastor, challenged the abuses of medieval Christendom.Intrigue and false promises weave a powerful story of one man?s commitment to faith in Jesus Christ. He was summoned to the Council of Constance and promised safety, but he was betrayed. In the end, Hus was accused, imprisoned, and charged with heresy. Ultimately, he was condemned and burned at the stake as a heretic.
