Dialog

Philip I, Landgrave of Hesse By the grace of God and for the advancement of true doctrine, we gather today to establish this university as a beacon of learning and piety in these troubled times.
Scholar 1 Your Grace, this institution shall be a bulwark against error, where Scripture may be studied in its purity, untainted by the corruptions of Rome.
Theologian Indeed, as the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, we must rightly divide the word of truth. Here, we may train those who will carry the Reformation forward.
Philip I, Landgrave of Hesse Let it be known that Marburg shall not only defend the faith but also cultivate minds sharpened for debate and hearts aflame with divine truth.
Scholar 1 Then let us begin this sacred work, that our labors may bear fruit for generations to come.
Theologian May the Lord guide our pens and our tongues, that all we teach here may be pleasing in His sight.
