In October 1512, Luther received a doctorate of theology from the University of Wittenberg and soon after assumed a Wittenberg professorship in Bible studies endowed by his Augustinian order. Lecture notes exist for courses he taught, including ''Psalms'' (1513-1515 and 1519), ''Romans'' (1515-1516), ''Galatians'' (1516-1517), and ''Hebrews'' (1517-1518). During this time Luther rose to the level of district vicar of his Roman-Catholic Augustian Order in 1515, later even overseeing the administration of Augustianian monasteries in Saxony. <ref name=Jones/>

Also sometime during these years, Luther later tells of having religious experiences that were the foundations of what-have-turned-out-to-be two important theological viewpoints: (1) evangelical purpose of the Gospels (believed to have occcured around 1514) and (2) his replacement of scholastic theology with what he called the "theology of the cross" (probably 1518, but scholarship exists that makes an earlier date of development possible). <ref name=Jones/>
