"I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth"

Martin Luther's quote suggests that if schools do not focus on teaching the Holy Scriptures, they will become an entrance to hell. He thinks that it is necessary for schools to focus on teaching the Bible and instilling its teachings in the hearts of young people. This quote shows Luther's strong religious beliefs and his conviction that the Bible need to be the structure of education. He was concerned that if schools did not prioritize teaching the Bible, students would be exposed to concepts and worths that contrasted his own. He thought that teaching the Bible was the only way to make sure that youths would be directed by its teachings and not be led astray. Luther's quote is a pointer of the value of religious education and the need to make sure that youths are exposed to the Bible and its mentors.
