Did Luther support this rebellion

Answer 1

Martin Luther initially expressed some sympathy for the grievances of the peasants during the German Peasants' War, seeing their demands for reform as a reflection of broader social injustices. However, as the rebellion escalated into violence, Luther became increasingly critical of the uprising, ultimately condemning it. He believed that the use of force was an unacceptable means to achieve reform and argued for order and authority. Therefore, while he acknowledged the peasants' plight, he did not support the rebellion itself.
