A guerra dos camponeses

a mediação de Lutero em discussão

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the mediation unleashed by the Reformer Martin Luther during the conflict known as the Peasants War in XVI century Germany and its repercussions in the present time. At the time, the performance of Luther demonstrated "radicalism" in relation to the theological conceptions spread out by the Roman Church, which makes arise a new church in Germany, later known as the Lutheran Church. In parallel to that a peasant revolt breaks out in the region, mainly under the leadership of the theologian Thomas Mûntzer. Although their relationship had been close at the beginning, the two spiritual leaders ended up separated by theological and political divergences.
