Thomas Müntzer, in the well known words of the Apostle Paul, has come to be 'all things to all men,' albeit only after his death. But already during his lifetime opinion was strongly divided over this man. Certainly he had his staunch supporters1as well as his bitter enemies, but there were also those who saw both good and evil in him. Müntzer's most adamant opponent was undoubtedly Martin Luther himself, who had no intention of standing idly by while his 'Reformation' went up in the smoke of revolution.2Those, however, who saw both good and evil in Müntzer were not involved in the immediate struggle but witnessed events from a distance-the Anabaptists of Zurich under the leadership of Conrad Grebel.3
