Synopsis

Thomas Muntzer is widely regarded as the most important figure in the Radical Reformation. However, the lack of a comprehensive English translation of his work has restricted the evaluation of his true historical influence and religious significance.Here, for the first time, all Mnntzer's works (both published and unpublished, in Latin and in German) have been translated and gathered together in one volume. Only the liturgies are not included. Professor Matheson has incorporated all advances in scholarship, while his introduction and extensive notes have been written with special concern for the needs of the English-speaking reader.By providing all scholars with easier access to Mnntzer's notoriously difficult and vernacular prose, this work will prove to be invaluable in assessing the Radical Reformation in all its social, political and theological aspects.
