English summary: Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) is one of the most eminent Baroque poets. This book gives a sophisticated account of Gerhardt's life, work and influence. For almost a century nothing as comprehensive as this work has been published. German description: Zum 400. Geburtstag Paul Gerhardts (1607-1676) legt Christian Bunners die seit fast einem Jahrhundert umfangreichste Gesamtdarstellung zu Leben und Werk des groaen, bis heute bekannten Barockdichters vor. Bunners beschreibt nicht nur ausfuhrlich den Lebensweg Paul Gerhardts, sondern widmet sich ebenso grundlich der Darstellung und Deutung seines Werkes in seiner vielfaltigen Ausstrahlung. Neben kirchen-, frommigkeits- und dichtungsgeschichtlichen Fragen gilt sein Interesse den mentalitats-, musik- und sozialgeschichtlichen Zugangen zu Gerhardts Schaffen. Aus der noch wenig erkundeten Wirkungsgeschichte des groaten Barockdichters deutscher Zunge beschreibt Bunners vor allem seine Ausstrahlung als Liederdichter, aber auch seine internationale und seelsorgerliche Resonanz, beispielsweise bei Philipp Jakob Spener und John Wesley, bei Dietrich Bonhoeffer und Joachim Ernst Berendt. Auch den Resonanzen von Gerhardts Liedern in der Musik- und in der Dichtungsgeschichte, bei Johann Sebastian Bach, Ernst Pepping und im Jazz, bei Theodor Fontane, Thomas Mann und Gunter Grass, geht Bunners in seiner so vielschichtig fundierten wie kenntnisreichen Biographie nach.

Marking the 400th anniversary of Paul Gerhardt’s (1607–1676) birthday, Christian Brunners presents his comprehensive study of the great and still well-known baroque poet’s life and work – the most extensive such study that has been published for nearly a century. Brunners not only describes in detail the life of Paul Gerhardt, but is equally thorough in presenting and interpreting his work and its manifold impacts. Besides questions relating to the history of Church, piety and poetry, he gives attention to approaches that view Gerhardt’s work under the perspective of mentality, music and social history. The reception of that greatest German baroque poet has hardly been explored yet. In this complex and knowledgeable biography, Brunners focuses on Gerhardt’s reception as a lieder and hymns but also describes his international and pastoral reception, for instance in the works of Philipp Jakob Spener and John Wesley, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Joachim Ernst Berendt; and he depicts the resonance of Gerhardt’s lieder and hymns in Johann Sebastian Bach, Ernst Pepping and jazz music, as well as in Thomas Mann, Theodor Fontane and Günter Grass.
