 Thomas Muentzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Muentzer (or Müntzer, Münzer) (1489 or 1490–27 May 1525) was an early Reformation-era German pastor who was a rebel leader during the Peasants' War.
Thomas Muentzer initially studied for the priesthood, earning the MA degree and completing the Bacculareus biblicus.
Opponents of this idea argue Thomas Muentzer was a theologian, and based his ideas around biblical themes concerning God's true servants and the battle against evil, acted as a prophet, and had little interest in revolution or in class struggle.

 Conrad Grebel: Letters to Thomas Muntzer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Although Muntzer and Vadian were proficient Latinists, Grebel's resort to German reflects a new interest in using the vernacular for Reformation discourse (see 57C/245/ 8‑18).
Muntzer was preacher at the Church of St. John's in Allstedt from Easter 1523 until the middle of August 1524.
It is not known whether he received the letter; but the fact that the original is extant in the Vadian archives in St. Gallen may indicate that it was returned to Vadian undelivered, perhaps by the messenger himself since Grebel expressly states in 63/294/15‑16 that he had not kept a copy.

But the impassioned oratory and violent writings of Luther's former follower, Thomas Müntzer (1489-1525), was the direct spark that ignited the peasant protests in Thuringia and Saxony, and fanned them into a blaze of fanaticism and violence engulfing a large part of Germany.
Muntzer escaped from the carnage but was soon captured and executed.

The essays on Carlstadt and Muntzer, on the other hand, are of substantial length (actually almost half of the book is on Muntzer) and significant scholarly insight.
Rupp says of Muntzer what this reviewer would want to say about Carlstadt as well, namely, that his is a pathetic story of both insight and imbalance, commitment and erratic behavior, confrontation and misunderstanding.
The chapter on "the gospel according to the Muntzer" is the best general summary of Muntzer's thought; it might have been amplified by more extensive comments about its sources and social implications.

Muntzer himself was captured, tortured and executed several days later.

 THE MENACE OF THE RELIGIOUS LEFT
Fortunately, when Muntzer urged Luther to join him in this messianic crusade, arrived at by alleged divine revelation, Luther immediately saw the deadly danger; at the end, the Anabaptist movement was crushed by an alliance of Catholic and Lutheran princes.
Movements can be stamped out, but ideas, good or bad, often keep marching on, and the same was true of the idea of imposing a totalitarian Kingdom.
It is an attempt to impose, not immediately as in the case of Muntzer or Lenin, but over a period of years, and as quickly as politically possible, a Kingdom of God on Earth, at least in the United States.

 Norman Cohn, Pursuit of the Millennium
As for the Communists, they continue to elaborate, in volume after volume, that cult of Thomas Muntzer which was inaugurated already by Engels.
But whereas in these works the prophetae of a vanished world are shown as men born centuries before their time, it is perfectly possible to draw the opposite moral -- that, for all their exploitation of the most modern technology, Communism and Nazism have been inspired by phantasies which are downright archaic.
Either people such as Thomas Muntzer anticipated and set the stage for the totalitarian leaders of the twentieth century, or people such as Lenin and Hitler were throw-backs to the leaders of heretical medieval sects.

Convinced that the end of the world was at hand, Munzer preached revolution as a means of preparing the way for the return of Christ.
Munzer called for "the godly" (that is, the downtrodden) to slay the "ungodly" (those who opposed the coming kingdom of Christ, in which there would be no class distinctions).
As could be expected, Luther feared and despised Muntzer and his vision of the pure Gospel.

From a variety of perspectives Michael G. Baylor's new collection of the basic writings of Thomas Muntzer is a most welcome publication.
Given the difficulty of Muntzer's German and some of the uncertainties of the text upon which Peter Matheson largely based his 1989 Collected Works of Thomas Muntzer, research scholars will benefit from this alternate translation of Muntzer's most important works.
From a broader perspective, however, as Baylor's introduction makes clear, students and teachers alike can benefit from direct interaction with the thought of Thomas Muntzer.

(Incidentally, in the 16th century communism—during the period of Thomas Muntzer, for instance--was still spiritual.) It is part of our present dilemma that many intellectuals still think that reason alone can stop the apocalypse.
