Publisher's Synopsis
A comprehensive modern biography of Melchior Hoffman, one of the most important figures in the 'radical Reformation'.This history traces not only the intellectual development of Hoffman himself, but analyses the various groups of his followers and relates his life and work closely to the social and political context of his time. Over a century has passed since the last attempt was made to write a comprehensive biography of Hoffman. Here is a major contribution to contemporary Reformation studies.
