The History of Philosophy by Martin Luther

The questions at the heart of the protestant reformation were already being discussed intensely and with great refinement in the fifteenth century. Bille even defines sin in terms of violating reason, because he assumes that going against reason must be equivalent to going against god. Lectures were a powerful way to com uniate the lutheran message. If there had been no universities, there would have been no reformation. Some of the central figures of the movement taught at them, including luther himself who was a professor of biblical studies in wittenberg.
