Published on the quincentenary of Muntzer's birth, this book examines the views and career of one of the most militant figures of radical reformation in Germany. It draws upon current research to reassess the late medieval roots of his theology, which fused mystical, spiritual and apocalyptical strains, and stresses his achievements as a pastor and liturgical reformer in Saxony. The author attempts to integrate Muntzer's theological vision with his gradual commitment to violent social rebellion, and explains why his religious convictions prevented him from drafting the blueprint of a new society, thereby limiting his effectiveness and appeal as leader of the rebels in the Peasants' War in central Germany. Tom Scott has also written "Freiburg and The Breisgau: Town-Country Relations in the Age of Reformation and Peasants' War" and edited "Politics and Society in Reformation Europe" with E.I. Kouri.
