Anthony Tuckney (1599-1670): Theologian of the Westminster Assembly

by Youngchun Cho

Overview

Youngchun Cho investigates the theology of Anthony Tuckney, an overlooked yet highly influential member of the Westminster Assembly. After a brief biography and an evaluation of Tuckney's use of Scripture and reason, Cho shows how he related union with Christ to the doctrine of the Trinity, soteriology, and assurance of salvation. This book refutes claims that seventeenth-century Reformed theology in general, and the Westminster Standards in particular, pursued logical precision at the expense of the dynamic aspect of union with Christ, demonstrating that union with Christ was a critical element to Tuckney's theological agenda.

Editorial Reviews

"Anthony Tuckney, an often-overlooked Puritan theologian of the Westminster Assembly, is herein valuably reappraised by Youngchun Cho. This well-written study reveals a leading founding father of Puritan theology whose abiding legacy is seen in themes such as scholarship without scholasticism, the primacy of revelation over reason, and the Trinitarian nature of salvation best expressed by union with Christ.
