Notes: Polemical theologian and preacher from 1524 onwards. He published a "Reform-gutachten", or "Opinion on Reform", and carried on correspondence with Oecolampadius and Zwingli. Refusing an appointment by Philip, Landgrave of Hesse, citing the ongoing split between the German and the Swiss Reformers on the Lord's Supper, he left his position as cathredal preacher in Würzburg, and returned to Nürnberg, the city of his birth. He also corresponded with Georg Witzel, who had studied in Wittenberg, but eventually returned to Roman Catholicism. Often irenic and moderate in temperate, Haner took great offence at the direction of the Lutheran Reformers on the doctrine of Justification. He returned to the Roman Church, and published his "Prophetia uetus ac nova," rebutting the Lutheran positions.
