This semester I have really enjoyed how clear all of the authors make their dislike for one another. Muntzer goes as far as to refer to Luther as, "Father Pussyfoot." First of all, what is that even supposed to mean? Secondly, he is a very bold man to use such derogatory and vulgar language when talking of a fellow theologian. There must have been some pretty heavy blows through in his direction for him to have such strong distaste for Luther. However, I do admire his honesty and sometimes wish theologians and teachers were this honest now. Although, more academic language would be a lot classier.
P.S. I commented on Collin's blog
I agree! I looked up some of Luthers insults toward others and they were awesome! He told one man that "he was a spawn of satan who had crawled from the depths of hell." Apparently he wasn't afraid of stepping on any toes!
