Salomon Deyling

Salomon Deyling was a Lutheran theologian, born on 14 September 1677, at Weida, in Thuringia.

Salomon Deyling

He studied at the University of Wittenberg, where he received his magister degree in 1699. In 1703 he became adjunct in the faculty of philosophy, and in 1710 a doctor of theology. In 1716 he was made general superintendent at Eisleben, and moved to take up the pastorate of the Nicolaikirche at Leipzig in 1720. He served as a full professor of theology at the University of Leipzig from 1722 up until his death. He died on 5 August 1755.[1][2]

Johann Sebastian Bach is believed to have composed his Epiphany Cantata, Alles nur nach Gottes Willen after listening to a sermon by Salomon.[3]

gollark: Perhaps they're semirandom. Perhaps I devise bespoke bluffs by myself and then share them. Perhaps my bluffs are optimized automatically via testing against high-fidelity computer simulations of all other participants. Perhaps I don't make bluffs but merely disseminate cognitohazards causing perception of bluffs. Perhaps my every word and bluff is meticulously generated to produce minimum guessing of me. Perhaps I never bluff and every word I say is accurate.
gollark: I generate my bluffs via RNG now to avoid the terribleness of human random number generation (heavpoot has data on this), unless I don't and am trying to trick you into not making inferences from them.
gollark: Unless I didn't but am *not* trying to fool you all.
gollark: Unless I didn't and am trying to fool you all, of course.
gollark: I attempted to completely leave any chat here in the guessing phase out of my decision-making.
