Petr Chelčický

Murray L. Wagner's study of Petr Chelcicky, an eminent but neglected thinker on the Hussite movement, is a comprehensive introduction to his biography and a detailed analysis of his major works on separatist Christianity. Chelcicky anticipated the separatist, alternative communities founded by the 16th-century Anabaptists. He is noted as the spiritual progenitor of the Czech Brethren.
