Martin Luther is noted to once have remarked: “[y]ou parents can provide no better gift for your children than an education in the liberal arts. House and home burn down, but an education is easy to carry along.” Well-versed in the classics, Luther frequently commended a liberal arts education, and held a position as professor of biblical literature during his life. In this text, Gustav Bruce discusses Luther in his role as an educator, illuminating his relevancy to education today.
