| Jan Milic Lochman's contribution to David Willis and Michael Welker's book emphasizes the history of radical reform among Waldensians, Hussites and Czech Brethren. |
| Hussites made up the vast majority of the population, and Lutheranism also gained a substantial following. |
| He situates the Devout on a broad canvas of new religious ideas and forms that include beguines, tertiaries, Lollards, Hussites, Wycliffites, and Free Spirits. |
| The wars ended in 1436 with the ratification of the compromise Compacts of Basel by the Church and the Hussites. |
| The second half of the book surveys lay renewal movements from the second century, through the medieval Waldensians and Hussites, to the Anabaptists and Pietists. |
| The Hussites, on the other hand, who broke away from the Holy Roman Empire in both political and religious senses, were heretics. |
