Why Is Gottfried Ephraim Scheibel Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Gottfried Ephraim Scheibel was a German theologian and writer about music. Scheibel studied theology in Leipzig and from 1736 taught at the Elizabeth-Gymnasium in his home town of Breslau. Scheibel's most famous treatise, Zufällige Gedancken von der Kirchenmusic , was published in 1721. It presents a strong defense of the role of music in the Lutheran Church service, in particular music derived from opera. By way of example, he demonstrates the use of the parody technique—replacing secular texts with sacred ones, while keeping the music the same—using the music of Georg Philipp Telemann.
