Katharina von Bora: Student-Teacher Edition

Born in 1499, Katharina started her education at first the convent at Brehna, then continued it in Kloster Nimbschen where she took vows as a nun at the age of sixteen and expected to live the whole of her life.

God, however, had other plans. On Easter Eve 1523 she escaped with eleven other nuns to Wittenberg, a move meant to be temporary until a more permanent home could be found for her. What happened next changed the world in this family story filled with music in the original German.

Student-Teacher Edition features challenging study questions after each chapter. Extensive appendices include a detailed timeline, detailed bibliography, plus information on medieval time and lyrics to Martin Luther's most popular hymns in both English and German.
