An die Radherrn aller stedte deutsches lands : das sie Christliche schulen auffrichten vnd halten sollen

Luther, Martin, 1483-1546

Summary: Radical reformers such as Karlstadt believed that education was unnecessary for faith. Luther argued against such a position, asking all cities to set up schools to teach correct doctrine.
