Summary

The name "Hus" means "Goose" in Czech, and that is how John Hus was known to his friends.

In The Goose Holds the Key, Bill Higgins gives a historical introduction to John Hus, the important Bohemian Reformer martyred in 1415 at the Council of Constance. It is the author's thesis that the life and teaching of Hus holds the key to the future of the modern Czech Republic.

  • Chapter one explores the basic cultural, philosophical, and theological framework of the world into which Hus was born.
  • Chapter one examines the influence on Hus of the earlier English Reformer John Wycliffe.  
  • Chapter three details Hus' life, influence, and his trial and execution at the Council of Constance.
  • Chapter four notes how Hus' life and teaching is still significant today.

The Appendix traces the influence of Hus' teaching through the succeeding generations of the Moravian Church.
