Martin Luther: A Christian vision of school education

This year marks the five hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation and there is a renewed interest in the life and work of Martin Luther. This article explores Martin Luther’s vision of school education. Martin Luther considered school education as essential in the preservation of the spiritual and temporal estates. A number of important themes emerge: the universal nature of this school education and the inclusion of girls, albeit at the more elementary stages, and the focus on a wide range of studies including the languages required to read and understand the scriptures.
