The Influence Of Martin Luther On Education
Martin Luther was an education reformer who brought a significant transformation to the stale medieval ecclesiastical education which was controlled by the Catholic Church for far too long. Luther believed that education reform was a critical component to support and complete the religious reformation of which he was the frontrunner. The educational philosophy of Luther can be summed up as “Bible-centered” or “Biblical authority for everything”, and his rather extensive educational background shaped his view of education. (Kienel, 1989)
Luther’s own education started at home with pious parents followed by the Catholic Latin School in his early years. However, it was the teachings of the Brethren of the Common Life in his secondary school years
