3 Luther and his assistant Philipp Melanchton spread Luther’s message The changes proposed in the 95 theses were fundamental therefore the Roman Catholic Church could not support it These changes also led to a revolt by the peasants called the Great Peasant Revolt of 1525

4 The Great Peasant Revolt led to a disruption in Luther’s movement so he created the Doctrine of Two Kingdoms Doctrine of Two Kingdoms God has two hands Left= Control of government Right= Control of the divine

5 The Doctrine of Two Kingdoms attracted many German nobles because it gave them the legal standing to crush the peasants The result was that many areas in Northern German princes converted to Lutheranism
