Thomas Müntzer: A Tragedy of Errors
Rejected in the sixteenth century by both Protestants and Catholics,
yet hailed by Marxist historians as a forerunner of the Marxist
revolution, this volume tells Müntzer's story and offers a critical
assessment of him in light of his extant works, with particular
attention to the religious foundations of his revolutionary program.

Endorsements
"This book engages the reader from beginning to end and testifies
once again to Eric Gritsch's well-known ability to tell as story in
a readable and lively way. Diligent in the interpretation of his
sources and in the use of recent scholarship, he shows good judgment
and gives those who want to go further an excellent introduction to
both Müntzer's writings and the literature about him."
– Leif Grane, University of Copenhagen
"This is a volume that will be appreciated by the nonspecialist as
well as the specialist. It reads like a novel while ... carrying on a
critical dialogue with the latest Müntzer scholarship."
– Carter Lindberg, Boston University
"The sum of the author's research of almost a quarter century....
Gritsch's book is the best account of Müntzer's life and work in
English."
– Franz Posset, Theological Studies
