Marking 500 Years of Lutheran Education1517-2017In his passionate letter to the political leaders of Germany, Martin Luther asked them to create an educated nation from a largely illiterate and impoverished populace. The request seemed utterly preposterous to many who read it. And yet who could have known in 1524 that a letter penned by a professor from a little-known university would reshape not only education but also global cultures?
