by in classical Protestantism and the Enlightenment's emphasis on a reductionistic understanding of reason based

logic, faith became confused with orthodox theological beliefs.

logic of concrete particular decision which of course does justice to universal regulative principles but can not wholly be deduced from them
solely by explicit casuistry.
