Bohemian Protestantism

Bohemian Protestantism refers to the religious movement that emerged in the Kingdom of Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic) during the 15th and 16th centuries, primarily influenced by reformers like Jan Hus. It challenged the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, advocating for a more personal and scriptural-centered faith. Followers sought to reform church practices, promote communion in both kinds (bread and wine), and emphasize moral living. This movement laid the groundwork for later Protestant reforms and is significant for its contributions to religious freedom and the development of Protestant thought in Central Europe.
