Anthony Tuckney

Anthony Tuckney (September 1599, in Kirton-in-Holland – February 1670) was an English Puritan theologian and scholar.

Anthony Tuckney was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and a fellow there from 1619 to 1630.

Tuckney was the chairman of the committee of the Westminster Assembly in 1643 and was responsible for its section on the Decalogue in the "Larger Catechism."

"[2] After the English Restoration in 1660, he was removed from his positions and retired from professional life.

He was not a frequent controversialist, with only his replies to the letters of Benjamin Whichcote (published in 1753) testifying to his suspicions about rationalism and the Cambridge Platonists.
