Adam Bernd

Adam Bernd (born March 31, 1676 in Siebenhufen - today in Wrocław ; † November 5, 1748 in Leipzig ) was a German Protestant pastor and since 1712 head catechist and preacher at the Peterskirche at the Peterskirchhof in Leipzig ( Old Peterskirche ). He was suspended from office in 1728 because of his work, published under the pseudonym Christianus Melodius, Influence of divine truths in the will / and in the whole life of man, as this was viewed as deviating from the Lutheran teaching. In 1738 he published his own description of life , which revealed intimate details about numerous "physical and emotional plagues" in a way that was new for the literature of the time.
