Fitzsimons Allison's The Rise of Moralism (#32): Baxter, Godwin, Walker,...
POBM = "price of the book moments." To wit, a paragraph or page that is so good, that the whole book must be purchased. A few of those today. Bishop Allison has done the homework, albeit ever-so brief here-and-there. Succinct and compact in a Jim Packer style.
Bishop Fitz Allison hits another homerun with the question: how does Richard Baxter escape the charge that, essentially (when all the obscurantisms are cleared), the charge of Tridentine sotreriology?
To wit, impoverished views of sin, the OT, justification, Christology...and, as always, the impact on the people.
We're of the mind that Richard Baxter, over 30 years, "hardened his heart" against rebukes and criticisms from 16 Reformed divines, from conformist and non-conformist sources.
