Significance | Karlstadt (sometimes Carlstadt) was a close associate of Martin Luther who eventually moved away from Luther's theology to become a Radical Reformer. He believed that all images should be removed from churches and that Christians must exhibit moral growth or sanctification. His emphasis on a transformed life made him a forerunner of Pietism. He died of the plague on December 24, 1541. |
