Question

How did Martin Luther view the German peasants revolt?

Answer 1

Answer:

In contrast, Martin Luther and other Magisterial Reformers condemned it and clearly sided with the nobles. In Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants, Luther condemned the violence as the devil's work and called for the nobles to put down the rebels like mad dogs.

Answer 2

Answer:

Luther’s writings were not the cause of the revolt, but they certainly appealed to the peasants. When the revolts began to turn violent, Luther opposed them. He claimed the peasants had misunderstood what he was saying, and while he felt their cause was just, he could not support their insurrection and breaking of the peace.
