What created our future–sovereign grace or free choice? What happened to the sixteenth-century reformation and the counter-debate two centuries later? Did it fade into the Aufklarung / le Siecle des Lumieres, promoting natural theology over revealed theology?

Samuel Werenfels (1657-1740), with a category-5 tailwind of theology heritage from Grynaus and Buxtorf dynasties, attacked disputations in academic Latin. Yet with Basel’s French refugees, he radiated fervent revival preaching on Holy Spirit-inspired perseverance.

Innovative Basel also launched contrasting enlightenment scholars in mathematics messiah Leonhard Euler and Shakespeare translator Simon Grynaus V, minister of Basel’s St. Peter.
