Abstract
After the condemnation of Luther for heresy and his own persecution of heretics, the paper describes the judgment of heresy against the layman Melchior Hoffman by the Lutheran authorities in Flensburg (1529). During the spiritual controversy between the Catholic Poul Helgesen (Paul Helie) and the fi rst Danish evangelical preachers both parties accused each other of heresy (1525-1535). In the established Lutheran Church (since 1537) especially Hans Tausen, bishop from 1542, and Peder Palladius, bishop from 1537, would fight what they considered heretics, i.e., Catholics, non-Lutheran Protestants and Jews.
