DescriptionIn this work, published after his controversial Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants and after the peak of the uprisings, Luther does not retract his attacks levelled there, which many of his allies and supporters had decried, though he accuses the landlords of being too extreme in their violent response to the uprisings.
