picture of the educative system situation in the Middle Age is displayed and also antecedents
of the Lutheran Reformation and biographical details of the Martin Luther s life. It
emphasizes aspects that got to be referential for the educative proposals of the reformer.

situation of the educative system and its methods, research s focus is put on theological
Lutheran concepts that influence the pedagogical proposals of the reformer. Concepts coming
from a Luther that being pastor and theologian acts responding to specific situations and
elementary questions.
The Luther s thought about education is marked for his understanding of the relationship
between God and the human being and, at the same time, of this with the World and society.
Doctrines as Justification by faith, the right place of the Good Works, Law and Gospel and
the Two Kingdoms are essentials in the understanding of his thought about the right place of
the education and the human being as its subject.

education, as consequence of the reflection on pedagogical writings of the reformer,

Gospel and the world is highlighted. In last instance, the present work concludes that the
Lutheran education foundation is on the Word of God and that the mark of the Lutheran
school is in the instruction and christian education. It is the axis of all its structure,
preoccupation and educative task.
