Gellert was a professor in philosophy at the university of Leipzig, lecturing on poetry, rhetoric, and moral philosophy. He intended his writings to raise the religious and moral character of the people. Although his work does not have an exceptional literary value, Gellert became one of the most popular German authors of his time. He is best known for his collection of fables and stories (Fabeln und Erzählungen) and his collection of religious poems and hymns (Geistliche Oden und Lieder).
