This episode (part five of the Martin Luther series) examines the ferment of 1524–1525, tracing how Luther’s theological innovations were outflanked by more radical reformers and popular uprisings. Tom and Dominic discuss Andreas Karlstadt’s extremists in Wittenberg, Thomas Munzer’s vitriolic attacks on Luther and his role in the Peasants' War, and the military confrontation at Frankenhausen.
