Martin Luther as a Professor

Martin Luther was not just a monk, he was also a professor at the University of Wittenberg. This video explains Luther as a professor, his style of teaching, and Luther's academic life in the monastery. We will explore how Johann von Staupitz pushed Luther into the life of a professor and what effect this had on his theology.

I did not know Luther made his notes for the lectures in german - around 13:45min one can see a page with such notes ("Es sprach Christus...")!

Your videos are all wonderful. Thank you.
However, something bothers me in all your Luther videos. You always pronounce Wittenberg as Wittenburg. Why? A Berg in German means mountain while a Burg means Castle. In German, the name of the city is pronounced like VITTEN-BARE-G not VITTEN-BURG.
