Thomas Müntzer: Theology and Revolution in the German Reformation

In this book, the author re-examines the career and thought of the most militant figure of the Radical Reformation in Germany, Thomas Muntzer. Muntzer's theological vision is integrated into his gradual commitment to violent social rebellion and it is suggested that it was his religious convictions that limited his appeal and effectiveness as a leader and prevented him from drafting the blueprint of a new society.
