Description
Summary:The role of education in the Reformation is a case of transformation: Luther and his followers did not totally break with medieval and humanist conditions, but they intensified some of them and underlined them with their theological principles. Their first aim was to reform the universities based on a combination of humanist impulses and emphasis on Biblical education; the same approach was taken to the reform of the Latin schools. In his tract 'An die Ratherren aller Städte deutsches Landes' ['To the councilors of all German towns'] (1524), Luther demanded an improvement of classical education as well as of theological training in schools. Sociologically the most important impact of the Reformation was the broadening of the basis for education - not only the burghers, not only boys should benefit from schools. This also promoted late medieval and humanist tendencies, thus making them a central focus of Protestant formation. (English)
