Quote by Martin Luther

I would advise no one to send his child where the Holy Scriptures are not supreme. Every institution that does not unceasingly pursue the study of Gods word becomes corrupt. Because of this we can see what kind of people they become in the universities and what they are like now. Nobody is to blame for this except the pope, the bishops, and the prelates, who are all charged with training young people. The universities only ought to turn out men who are experts in the Holy Scriptures, men who can become bishops and priests, and stand in the front line against heretics, the devil, and all the world. But where do you find that? I greatly fear that the universities, unless they teach the Holy Scriptures diligently and impress them on the young students, are wide gates to hell.

Summary

This quote reflects Martin Luther's belief in the importance of religious education and the primacy of the Holy Scriptures. Luther emphasizes that schools or institutions that do not place the Bible at the center of their curriculum become corrupt and produce individuals detached from God's teachings. He holds the pope, bishops, and prelates responsible for the moral decline evident in universities. Luther argues that universities should prioritize cultivating experts in scripture who can effectively combat heresy and evil. Failure to diligently teach and focus on the Holy Scriptures could lead these institutions astray, becoming pathways to damnation and spiritual ruin.
