This year marks the 500th anniversary of the German Peasants’ War, the largest European uprising before the French Revolution, in which peasants seized upon the radical implications of Martin Luther’s theology to challenge a hierarchical social order

and is for the human race
– o sweet word in every ear –
born for our comfort and salvation."
