Kurzbeschreibung	Addresses the meaning of the German texts set by Bach in his church cantatas, drawing upon historical research in religion, language, and the Bible. New findings are proposed in five categories: (1) where the text seems straightforward but has a different meaning when viewed biblically; (2) where the text assumes specific biblical knowledge on the part of the listener to complete its thought; (3) where the text assumes specific knowledge of Lutheran theology; (4) where the text contains archaic language; and (5) where the text may on the face of it seem well nigh unto impossible to understand.
