	Melchior Hoffman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hoffman maintained (against the "magic" of the Lutheran interpretation) that the function of the Eucharist, like that of preaching, is nothing more than an appeal for spiritual union with Christ.
		Hoffman's failed prophecy of the return of Christ contributed significantly to the Münster Rebellion (1533-1534), of which he is seen as one of the authors.
		Hoffman was important in at least one aspect of the development of the Mennonites.

	Hoffman, Melchior (ca. 1495-1544?)
		Hoffman now betook himself to Strasbourg, where he was received with open arms at the end of June 1529 as a champion of Zwingli's teaching on the communion (letter by Bucer to Zwingli, 30 July 1529).
		Melchior Hoffman was an unusual person, a man of extraordinary gifts, of a consuming selfless zeal for the cause of the Lord Jesus, of a rare eloquence, combined with moral earnestness and a genuinely truthful character.
		Hoffman's views on the Eucharist and on the church as a charismatic community of equal brothers and sisters thus differed from the view held by Luther.

	Melchior, Melchiorites
		Melchiorites is a term used for the followers of Melchior Hoffman (modernized in German as Hoffmann), the Reformer who carried the gospel to Baltic areas such as Estonia and Livonia, to Emden in Friesland, and to Amsterdam.
		Hoffman was an individualist who did not unite with the Swiss Brethren, and they in turn repudiated him.
		In addition to the usual Anabaptist doctrines Hoffman was obsessed with eschatology, reveling in the anticipated apocalyptic violence against the wicked after Christ's return, and he was naively drawn to "special revelations" through dreams and visions.

	Charisma and History
		In 1533, Hoffman's eschatological prophecies were perceived as a social threat by the authorities at Strasbourg (the city he originally had prophesied as the future "New Jerusalem") and he was imprisoned despite his refusal to employ violence to achieve his ends.
		Soon after hearing of Hoffman's fate, the Haarlem baker Jan Matthys, in the presence of the Low Country Melchiorites, professed to be driven by the Spirit, and he told how God had revealed to him that he was Enoch, the second witness of the apocalypse (Hoffman had claimed to be the first witness, Elijah).
		The masses attracted to Hoffman's prophecies in the Low Countries and his refusal to use violence to effect his message attest to the fact that he established his authority simply by personal appeal and the content of his message.

		Furthermore, if-as Weigelt claims-the full elucidation of Franck's Spiritualism and emphasis on the Inner Word came about as an extension of his criticism of existing churches, then his supposed attack on the biblicism of the Lutheran Reformation was just as much an attack on the biblicism of the Anabaptists.
		As with Melchior Hoffman and Caspar Schwenkfeld, Sebastian Franck's thought matured and ripened in the hothouse of Strasbourg's dissident community.
		This context also helps to explain the warm reception Melchior Hoffman received at his arrival in the imperial city a month later.

	H-Net Review: Ellen Yutzy on Peter Riedemann: Konfessionbildendes Taeufertum im 16. Jahrhundert
		In this biography of Peter Riedemann, an influential leader of the Hutterite movement, Andrea Chudaska's methodology is similar to that of Klaus Deppermann's biography of Melchior Hoffman.[1] She quotes Hans-Juergen Goertz's praise of that work, which "'set the standard for a biography that draws together aspects of intellectual and social history'" (p.
		Both biographies tend strongly to the intellectual and are structured around the lives and texts of their central figures.
		With its detailed analytical style and exhaustive treatment of Riedemann's theology and development as a Hutterite leader, this book should prove valuable for specialists of Anabaptist thought, and the more general sections will benefit those who want a clearer picture of Anabaptism's location in the religious landscape of the sixteenth century.
