Samuel Whiting

Samuel Whiting (1597–1679) was a Puritan minister and theologian whose pastoral writings exemplified the practical divinity characteristic of seventeenth-century English Protestantism. His works, including *Abraham's Humble Intercession for Sodom* and *A Discourse of the Last Judgment*, demonstrate his engagement with Reformed eschatology and moral theology, addressing both the sovereignty of God and the ethical responsibilities of believers. Whiting's ministry, conducted during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War and Interregnum, reflected the Puritan emphasis on scriptural exegesis and the application of theological doctrine to contemporary spiritual life.
