Faith, Love, Hope: A History of the Unitas Fratrum

By C. Daniel Crews

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.
