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 of congregational autonomy and the nature of Christ's authority over the church, reflecting the theological preoccupations of radical Protestant thought in mid-century England. Webb's writings remain significant for understanding the development of Independent ecclesiology and the broader intellectual ferment of the Puritan movement.
