Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants is a piece written by Martin Luther, related to the The German Peasants' War. The Peasants' War took place between 1524 and 1526, as a result of a tumultuous collection of grievances in many different spheres: political, economic, social, and theological. Martin Luther is often considered to be the foundation for the Peasants' Revolt; however, he maintained allegiance to the Princes as a method of ensuring[citation needed] the survival of his reformation. Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants typifies Luther's reaction to the Peasants' War, and alludes to Luther's concern that he might be seen to be responsible for their rebellion, as well as to his desire to keep his reformation on track. |
