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 intense theological controversy in post-Reformation England. His work contributed to broader discussions about reconciling God's omnipotence with human moral responsibility, reflecting the intellectual currents of Puritan and Reformed theological discourse. Russell's scholarly interventions positioned him within the significant body of English theological literature that sought to defend divine providence against emerging philosophical and theological challenges.
