In Chapter 8 of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, we explore the harrowing tale of the persecutions faced by the followers of the Bohemian reformer Jan Hus and his successors. This episode delves into the religious unrest in Bohemia during the 14th and 15th centuries, a time marked by intense conflict between the Roman Catholic Church and those calling for reform.

We’ll uncover the struggles of the Hussites, who stood firm in their commitment to Biblical authority, challenging the papacy and its corrupt practices. The chapter details the severe trials these reformers endured, including excommunication, warfare, and martyrdom, as the church and state sought to suppress their beliefs.

Through the stories of courageous men and women who gave their lives for the Gospel, we reflect on the cost of faith in the face of political and religious oppression. Join us as we trace the resilience of the Bohemian reformers and their enduring impact on the spread of the Reformation in Europe.
