The Time of the Harvest has Come
Revolution, Reformation and the German Peasants War
(Author) Martin EmpsonFive hundred years ago, much of Central Europe - centred on what is now Germany was swept by an epic struggle between peasants and lords. Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation had already begun to challenge the authority of the existing Church. This now opened a space for a challenge to the secular authority of the lords and princes. Martin Empson explores this history, the radical forces and ideas that shaped it and why eventually the peasants were defeated.
