Franck, Sebastian (c.1499–c.1542), German humanist and radical reformer. He became a Lutheran in the 1520s and held pastoral appointments from 1526. Soon he became disenchanted with the work and moved into the printing trade. His radical ideas led to his expulsion from Strasbourg in 1531 and from Ulm in 1539. He promoted a form of undogmatic Christianity which was equally offensive to Catholics and Protestants.

Sebastian Franck , 1499-1542, German religious writer. He was a Roman Catholic priest who came under the influence of the Reformation, but he shortly broke with the Lutherans and for his liberal views expressed in his Chronica (1531) was banished from Strasbourg. He founded printing presses at Ulm and Basel and wrote vigorously, mostly in defense of extremely liberal religious views.
