John Hus -- Martyr for the Faith
On the eve of the 600th anniversary year of the martyrdom of John Hus, Moravian Archives Winston-Salem has published John Hus -- Martyr for the Faith, a brief biography on his life, beliefs, and tragic death. The softbound booklet (44 pages with map, illustrations, time line, and copious notes) is a reprint of chapters three and four of Faith, Love, Hope, Daniel Crews's 2008 history of the early Moravian Church.The Rev. Dr. Crews is well steeped in the life and legacy of John Hus. He began his scholarly career with a Ph.D. on the theology of John Hus, did further study in Prague learning Czech, Hus's native language, and now has retired as Archivist of the Moravian Church, Southern Province with publication of this little booklet. Aside from thoroughly knowing his subject, Daniel Crews writes in a style that takes even the most complex issues of medieval time and brings them down to earth for today's casual reader to understand.And so this booklet is a perfect introduction to one whose death 600 years ago in 1415 shaped and inspired religious thought down the ages to today with his clarion call of service to Christ over human institutions.

Twilight of the Renaissance
Diplomat, courtier, and heretic, Juan de Valdés (c.1500-1541) was one of the most famous humanist writers in Renaissance Spain. In this biography, Daniel A. Crews paints a lively portrait of a complex and fascinating figure by focusing on Valdés's service as an imperial courtier and how his employments in Italy - after brushes with the Spanish Inquisition - influenced both Spanish diplomacy and his own religious thought. Twilight of the Renaissance focuses on Valdés's political activities in Charles V's Italian alliance system and negotiations with the papacy, while painting a lively portrait of an intriguing and complex Renaissance figure. Crews examines how Valdés, who was praised by two popes and, the emperor, was also branded a heretic almost immediately after his death. By considering Valdés's spirituality, as well as egotism, this incisive work reveals how the libertine atmosphere of the late Renaissance challenges the saintly Socratic image Valdés fashioned for himself in his writings.

Faith, Love, Hope
Sixty years before Martin Luther and the Reformation, a Protestant church was born. Faith, Love, Hope tells the thrilling story of that church. Known by various names but most simply the Unity, this church sought to live a true apostolic life of the Holy Scripture through a rich heritage of church organization and discipline, hymns and liturgies, confessions and statements of belief. And yet as a pioneer of the Protestant faith, the Unity was banned and exiled in its Czech homeland, persecuted, and eventually omitted from the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the tragic Thirty Years War. With his usual lively wit and style, C. Daniel Crews, Archivist of the Moravian Church, Southern Province, tells the story of the Unity in Faith, Love, Hope. Crews¿s studies as a young man at the University of Prague left him with a love for the Ancient Unity and a knowledge of the Czech language that make him uniquely qualified to tell this history.
