Johann Lorenz von Mosheim (1693-1755) was one of the most remarkable theologians of the eighteenth century and early Enlightenment theology. By combining research perspectives on both Mosheim's sermons and his homiletics, Sophia Farnbauer's ground-breaking study represents a methodological novelty in the historiography of sermons. The recalibrated image of Mosheim that emerges through this dual approach reveals that he was clearly a preacher of the Enlightenment.
