Was Luther's condemnation of the 1525 Peasants' War justified? Hubert Kirchner maintains that the Reformer's writings against the peasants were one-sided. On the other hand, the author says that Luther's derogatory opinions should not be divorced from his other comments on the Peasants' War, notably his Admonition to Peace.
