NOTES
Balduin was the first Lutheran theologian to write a treatise of casuistry, or the science of applying general or universal rules to particular ethical conundrums. He was also the first Protestant to treat magic and witchcraft, possession and obsession, melancholy and apparitions, as cases of conscience.
