Practical preaching

In his history of Protestant theology in the 19th century, Barth lists some of the sermon topics of one Traugott Gunther Roller of Schonfels in Kur-Saxony:

Fourth Sunday after Epiphany: The Duties of a Christian Congregation saved from the Grave Risk of Fire.

Easter: Reasonable Rules for the Christian Burial of Corpses.

Pentecost: How to keep Faithful and Safe during Thunderstorms.

First Sunday After Trinity: Horrific Sin of Premeditated Murder.
