Little known fact that Protestants wrote over 50 commentaries and over 500 disputations on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. @SvenssonManfred and I are working on telling the story. A preview of some findings here: doi.org/10.20935/AL1650

“Finally, it is also clear that, in Baxter, we see hints of that truly rationalistic tendency within theology which was ultimately to bring about the collapse of Reformed orthodoxy in the following century.” - C. Trueman He must be wrong. He disagrees w/the 14 yr old on Discord!
