Thomas Chubb

Portrait of Thomas Chubb, by [[Thomas Gainsborough]] Thomas Chubb (29 September 16798 February 1747) was a lay English Deist writer born near Salisbury. He saw Christ as a divine teacher, but held reason to be sovereign over religion. He questioned the morality of religions, while defending Christianity on rational grounds. Despite little schooling, Chubb was well up on the religious controversies. His ''The True Gospel of Jesus Christ, Asserted'' sets out to distinguish the teaching of Jesus from that of the Evangelists. Chubb's views on free will and determinism, expressed in ''A Collection of Tracts on Various Subjects'' (1730), were extensively criticised by Jonathan Edwards in ''Freedom of the Will'' (1754).

    An enquiry concerning redemption. : Wherein the Christian redemption is particularly considered. To which is prefixed, a preface; wherein is shewn, that if Christianity be not founded on argument, but on those divine impressions that are made on mens minds concerning it, (as a late ingenious author has attempted to prove;) then it is most uncertain and precarious, and cannot be reduced to any standard. And in which is also shown, that Christ's Kingdom has been so far from being supported, and established by the interpolition of civil power; that on the contrary it has rather been annihilated thereby.
