Document Summary
Luther"s family is interested in investing their wealth. They want their children to have a good education to continue to earn money for the family. Liberal arts. (gets these at erfurt) he gets a scholastic education with a little bit of humanism. However luther will not become a humanist like erasmus. Luther does not want to bring people back to the classic world. He likes the idea of returning to sources for learning and reading greek and hebrew. He begins to study law however, he deviates from this path. He gets caught in a massive thunderstorm and he is in an open field. Lightning strikes and he is thrown off a donkey and he is convinced he is going to die. He cries out st anne save me and i will become a monk. And he was spared and he does become a monk. One of the most disciplined and rigorous group.
