A History of the Hussite Revolution

Book Description
The religious reformation in fifteenth century Bohemia was also a social, political, and cultural revolution - the first of the great upheavals that transformed the medieval into the modern world. Beginning with a revival of evangelical pietism among the people of Prague, then coming under the leadership of the Czech intelligentsia of Prague's university, the reform movement reached its highest point under Master John Hus, who fused the fervor of pietism with the systematic political program developed by the English reformer John Wyclif. When Hus passed from the scene by submitting himself to the Council of Constance, leadership of the movement was taken up by the more radical Jakoubek of Stribro - pioneer of what was to become Hussitism's most characteristic practice, lay communion in both kinds (utraquism). At the same time, the propagation of the reform by Jakoubek's disciples among the townsmen and peasantry of the realm balanced the more conservative tendencies of the university masters and the Hussite feudality; by 1417 the Hussite movement was an uneasy coalition of religio-political tendencies ranging from extreme conservatism to Waldensian sectarianism. Out of the interplay among the Hussite parties and their various reactions to the pressures from Pope and Emporer there emerged two main types of reformation - one centered in Prague, the other in Tabor. Both were condemned by the Roman church, but the movement in Prague, less extreme, never ceased to hope for a reversal of that decision. Tabor, on the other hand, went all the way to heresy, schism, and revolution, ending with the form of the autonomous congregational community, organized as a city-state, in 'de facto' secession from the medieval order. Religious reformism, sectarian heresy of every sort, national passions, class hatreds, laicization, and anticlericalism - all the disturbing factors at work in late-medieval Europe came together in the Hussite revolution, which provided examples of virtually every form of change with which Europe would be concerned for the next three centuries.

Pages : 260
Book Description
This book is only aimed at identifying who the two kings of the four lined prophecy, the king of terror, by Nostradamus, really are. It takes further the investigation of these two kings than others have done. It looks to the ancient antiquity, the Roman Empire era to the present day combining secular, biblical and ancient historians to form a base as proof for the reader leaving no doubt as to their identity and the uncertain future that is just ahead. This is a book of its time and that time is now as these kings kingdoms, now forming, slowly but surely are manoeuvring into position for the last giant war of wars before the return of Jesus Christ. It is a book, that as events in the world start to unravel around the middle east, will come to be in great demand. It will come into its own. Presently the general public is completely unaware of the future that is coming for them. Led by political world leadership that cannot see the truth because of their own hypocrisy and greed for power. Their human nature will be led into a nuclear holocaust by a cunning dark and deceitful person, the king of terror. Identifying just as importantly where their kingdoms are today. Looking at the events and characters during the month of July 1999 filtering out anyone or thing that may be identified as the king of terror. Through using proven sources from secular, biblical history, with ancient reliable historians such as Titus Josephus, the book sets out methodically to prove the two blocks of nations that make up these kings kingdoms today. The European Super State that is now forming and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) group of nations. The prior kingdom is the king of terrors kingdom and the latter SCO being the kingdom of the Mongols he brings back to life. Obviously the kingdom of the Mongols is long gone, as Mongolia is but a tiny nation, but the descendents of this middle age Mongol empire all exist together in the SCO grouping of nations. The European Union Super State that is forming is led by a nation whos history of warfare goes back from two world wars to the sacking of the Jerusalem temple in 70 A.D. and further back to the times of Abraham. This is Germany. This can be proven through secular historians and of course biblical too. Which combine in the book. Also in this prophecy is the last line, that war would reign before and after July 1999. Which is an important part of the prophecy. These reasons are given in the book as a spiritual war that has existed between God and satanic forces for possibly millions of years. These evil forces objected to Gods plan for mankind and have since the rebellion of Lucifer been at war with God. This war is now in its final stage in our age though now a physical one too. It is Satans physical opposite of Jesus Christ that will rule the coming European Super State. The reason for this objection against Gods plan for man by Lucifer is outlined in the book. How the world has been led by a great Religious deception ever since. Lucifers plan to make man destroy itself through nuclear war. This war is at a pivotal stage with the war in Syria today. Which will bring about an alliance of nations that has never before existed. That of Sunni Muslim nations and the European Super State together against Shia Iran and its Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) allies. This Sunni and European alliance will win this war against Iran and then through nuclear holocaust destroy the United States, United Kingdom and Israel. This will bring a greater war with the SCO nations. The SCO will sweep through Europe then into the middle east, where the European antichrist will have set up his base. The two groups then try to confront Jesus Christ at his second coming and lose. Throughout the book it goes out of its way to give back up analysis to the events just explained. To some who read this book, it will not be to their spiritual or religious beliefs. To others will be a great deed for

Development of Class Structure in Eastern Europe
Author: Aleksander GellaPublisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780887068331
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Emphasizing the development of class structure, this book is the first in English to describe the historical and social development of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Romania from medieval feudalism to modern capitalism. Historically these countries have maintained mostly peaceful relations among themselves in the past and now share the common characteristic of being Soviet "satellites." The author has devoted particular attention to Poland because of its unique political system, as well as its greater size, population, and cultural influence. The book is divided into three sections: part one reviews the early history and social structure of each country; part two provides a sociological analysis of social classes and their evolution over centuries; and part three examines the effect that World War II has had on these social classes.
