John Webb

John Webb (fl. 1656) was an English Independent minister and theologian whose *The Government of Christ Considered and Applied* contributed to seventeenth-century debates on ecclesiastical polity during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War and Interregnum. His work engaged with contemporary discussions regarding the proper structure and authority of church governance, reflecting the theological and political tensions between Presbyterian, Independent, and other reformed traditions. Webb's writings remain significant for understanding the development of Independent ecclesiology and the broader intellectual landscape of mid-seventeenth-century English Protestantism.
