The Peasants' War Part 1

[@BruceJamieson-n5r]

Really, really good documentary. I wasn't aware of the German Peasants' War. Heart-breaking.

[@evaschubert1]

It gets much more heartbreaking in the next episode.

[@classiclife7204]

The most effective way to learn history is in this manner, generally speaking. Someone who knows how to speak and read in an engaging manner can hold your attention. Videos - particularly the kind with boxes moving across a map - can be fine for military history, but can be distracting for material like this. I learned quite a bit about German village life today, thanks!

[@evaschubert1]

I am very glad to hear it. Thank you for letting me know.

[@stripeytawney822]

@classiclife7204 agreed. She compares well with a college history proff. Did you subscribe?

[@StephanKesting]

It's amazing how little known this is in North America. Thank you for sharing!

[@zerksepraga]

There are many books of about Protestant Reformation such as J.H. Merle D'Aubigne, Wylie, and others. They are all at your finger's tip at the latest Ellen G. White writings app where it also has different Bible versions and dictionaries, Bible commentaries all for reference purposes. But in Eva's series they all come alive. While reading D-Aubigne's and other writers, I get back to Eva's series, and get back again to my books, and back to Eva's again.

My best history teacher, Ms. Schubert ! Cannot wait for your teaching on Quakers ! :)

[@lecaprice2572]

While Governor Penn was present, the Quakers can very close to creating a New Eden. Ironically, their compassion in welcoming religious refugees and economic migrants who did not share their values undermined their society.

[@zerksepraga]

I hope professor Schubert may also include the Seventh-day Adventist church and Its factions. It's a bit complicated, but it is now the Protestant of all Protestants.

[@jonathanfarquhar]

Wow so easy to follow! You're a fantastic story teller.

Very informative history lesson Eva I’m looking forward to part2 Thanks so much

[@tscully1504]

I became interested in this event while stationed in Germany and visited several of the sites, nearly all ruins now. I might mention the possible influence of the Knight's War that immediately proceeded it in 1522-23.

[@evaschubert1]

Yes it came up in my reading on tithe refusal. It’s always a challenge to decide where to begin discussing a historical event. Invariably there are many threads one could follow.

Thank you for continuing this fascinating work. I particularly enjoy the way you explain the social and finely-tuned dramatic pressures brought to bear on individuals as this society-wide situation developed through numerous local instances. I’ve been a county supervisor and could easily imagine that one-room, one-councilor-at-a-time confrontation, not knowing what the consequence might be. Very well done! I never enjoyed history classes in college, but I love your storytelling presentations! Thanks again! (P.S. my middle name is Luther.)

[@evaschubert1]

It is a dramatic moment for sure. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. Thanks for letting me know.

[@Luke-hs3bf]

This reminds of a series of lectures that were presented on PBS way back in the 80's and 90's. I don't remember the title of the series nor the name of the lecturer. But I loved to listen to this late middle-aged professor walk us listeners thru history. It was great food for hungry minds. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents!👏💐😺

Thank you good sir.

[@ThomasSimmons-u5x]

May I recommend John Osborne's play LUTHER. I am a Lutheran, who became a professional actor. I would often use the itinerant Knight's monologue, where he describes the hope of Luther's revolution and its tragic betrayal. The language is absolutely stunning, and its take on Luther's psycho-social arc is a brilliant tool in understanding this oft forgotten and tragic struggle.

[@evaschubert1]

I will have to look that up. Thank you 😊

[@ThomasSimmons-u5x]

@evaschubert1 I am a well-read guy, recently widowed. Just met a nice woman, who is evangelical. Why do evangelicals ignore history from end of New Testament to the American Civil War? So.... she decides it's time to discuss religion. 'Do you believe in God?'.. like a yes or no has any meaning!! I ask her if she has heard of Wycliff, Huss, Martin Luther nailing stuff.... Galileo, Newton... Nope. Isn't Martin Luther a black guy from the 60s? Seriously, asked me that. Imagine my pleasure at finding what appears to be a college professor lecturing on a big chunk of what I want her to know. On the internet! Take your compliment, about the best I have to give.

I very much appreciate your comment. Yes, one set of events often contains the seed of another and it's fascinating to uncover those connections. In this case, Luther's ideas are directly implicated in the seeds of this rebellion. The 30 year war is also covered in Episode 5: Wars of Religion.

Peasants Rebellion, England, 1381. John Ball: “Adam digged and Eve span, who then was a gentle man.” For which he was hung drawn and quartered. I don’t know why we insist Luther was original. And he famously abandoned the serfs, and died in his bed. Catholics, for all their faults, have beenmore sympathetic to the down trodden than the Protestants.

The John Ball rebellion is one I am tempted to do a separate episode on. It's an amazing story.

[@syourke3]

When did the Catholic Church ever support popular insurrection against the ruling class? Protestantism is much more democratic than Catholicism. Protestants believe in the primacy of the individual conscience and critical thought than Catholicism. Although Luther sided with the princes, the peasants who revolted were inspired by his teachings.

[@johnnyhall7065]

How so, servitude was sown, by the established Church! The Church of Rome falsely, claims authority, but the Celtic church, was closest to the Spiritual drive of the early, church fathers! Truest, in form and practice, to the "Light" needed to defeat the evil oppression practiced on this Earth.

[@DarrellLancaster-l5q]

Wow, slaves to work, brainwashed to worship.

[@zerksepraga]

Looks like it, the way the Roman Catholic sect is. And why Protestantism? Because Roman-catholicism started its religion wrong, not to mention all the bishops of Rome were always absent during all "ecumenical councils" and yet later, this religion at Rome claims all credit about church traditions as if the Greek church fathers who made up most of the ecumenical councils were the arbiters of the canons.

[@stephencuffel4932]

Munser must not have been reading Saint Paul, who tells slaves to obey their masters.

[@evaschubert1]

This specific point will be discussed in the next episode

[@zerksepraga]

Paul in Romans 13 urged his readers to be subject to higher powers (i.e., Imperial Rome) because he also benefited its protection. But Jesus defines that emperors cannot act except it were given from the above (John 19.11; see also 18.36; Philippians 3.20) But Revelation chapter 13; Acts 5.29 says different. So it's Romans 13 versus Revelation 13. When our duty to God is in conflict with the state, we should disobey the state in order to render perfect obedience to God, and if possible we die for our religion, and fight for our religion.

[@stephencuffel4932]

@@zerksepraga The passage I have in mind is from Ephesians 6.5, Slaves (οἱ δοῦλοι), obey those in earthly authority (τοῖς κυρίοις) , with fear and trembling and simplicity of heart, etc. δοῦλοι seems to express well the serf - lord relationship, which in the medieval way is a personal one. κύριοι is a general sort of term, translated in this context in the King James version as "masters", and properly I think, as Paul clearly has that relationship in mind rather than the more abstract one of governmental authority over a citizen or subject. Nothing in the rest of the passage addresses the potential problem of a master ordering a slave to do the unconscionable. This just adds to the ambiguity that you rightly point out exists between Romans and Revelation. But even in the reading most favorable to rebellion, the onus is on the rebels to show what those in authority have done outside of god's laws. Or so it seems to me, no theologian, thank heaven.
