Biblical Argumentation in a Synodal Sermon Expergiscimini hodie anime devote by Johannes Marienwerder

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Johannes Marienwerder (vel Jan z Kwidzyna) is the probable author of the late medieval synodal sermon Expergiscimini hodie anime devote. It is believed to have been delivered in Prague after 1384. The article analyzes the numerous biblical texts (more than eighty) used in the sermon. An analysis of a hermeneutical nature of these texts was also attempted. The main theme is the verse from Isa 57:1: “The righteous perishes, and no one cares.” The sermon has an elaborate internal structure and should be interpreted in reference to the so-called new theology, devotio moderna.
