Although Martin Luther was himself a fierce opponent of popular revolts on a mass scale, several components in his theological teachings and writings were undeniable inspirations to peasant revolutionaries in his day. His view that individual conscience was a foundation for good Christian living would be one; his bitter attacks on the Church hierarchy and the Pope himself, amounting to a complete rejection of these as necessary or helpful, were another.
