Jonathan Russel

Jonathan Russell was a seventeenth-century English theologian whose *A Plea for the Righteousness of God* engaged with contemporary debates surrounding divine justice and predestination during a period of significant theological ferment in Protestant thought. His work contributed to broader discussions about reconciling God's omnipotence with human moral responsibility, reflecting the intellectual currents of post-Reformation England. Russell's theological interventions, though modest in scope, situated him within the wider conversation among divines seeking to defend Reformed orthodoxy against emerging philosophical challenges.
