Reflections Based on the Position of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD)

Abstract

Abstract. Gottfried Erhard Feßken was a seventeenth century ecclesiastic who used as the subject of his sermons various unusual natural phenomena of his times: the appearance of comets, earthquake, the locust, and severe storms. He was primarily interested in the spiritual aspect of these phenomena seeing them as sent by God primarily as a punishment for sins and as warning signs to bring people to repentance.
