Where Luther Got It Wrong: The Peasants’ Revolt
Content: This is a small portion of a chapter I wrote for some future work, perhaps a Lenten study on the Reformation. The Reformation meant an increase in education. It launched a flurry of hymn-writing. Luther translated the Bible into German. The liturgy and sermons were brought into in the language of the people. The laity began receiving the cup. And while there was sadly a division in the church, the Roman Catholic side also initiated reforms. But all was not well. Luther was often acerbic, harsh and unbending. He called the Pope the Antichrist.
