Franz Hunolt

Franz Hunolt SJ (born March 31, 1691 in Siegen , † September 12, 1746 in Trier ) was a German philosopher and theologian. He is considered the most popular German preacher of the early 18th century.

Life

Franz Hunolt was born in Siegen in 1691, where he attended the Jesuit college . He studied philosophy in Cologne and from 1723 held a professorship for logic at the University of Koblenz . Between 1724 and 1743 he worked as a cathedral preacher in Trier, where he died in 1746. His “moral sermons”, the Christian Morals Teaching, is his best-known work, which was already printed in Cologne during his lifetime and was frequently reprinted until 1878 and translated into several languages (Flemish, English, French, Polish). Hunolt was later accused of overemphasizing the 6th commandment of the Decalogue ("You should not commit adultery", Ex 20.14 EU ).
