Stephen Buckingham

Stephen Buckingham was an eighteenth-century English theologian whose polemical writings engaged with contemporary debates concerning divine authority and political obligation. His work *The Unreasonableness and Danger of a People's Renouncing Their Subjection to God* exemplifies the period's intersection of theological and political discourse, arguing for the necessity of religious submission as a foundation for social order. Buckingham's contributions reflect the broader intellectual currents of his era, in which questions of sovereignty—both divine and temporal—remained central to theological and philosophical inquiry.
