RT Article T1 Luther und die Bestrafung der Täufer JF Zeitschrift für Theologie und Kirche VO 110 IS 1 SP 22 OP 49 A1 Trelenberg, Jörg 1965- LA German PB Mohr Siebeck YR 2013 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1776681355 AB Luther's attitude towards the punishment of the Anabaptists was marked by significant fluctuations.
