Geoffrey Fillingham Nuttall FBA FKC (8 November 1911 – 24 July 2007) was a British Congregational minister and ecclesiastical historian.
He was a noted lecturer and contributed articles to learned journals, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and the Encyclopædia Britannica.
His most celebrated publications were probably The Holy Spirit in Puritan Faith and Experience (1946; reprinted by Chicago University Press, 1992, without his permission, ISBN 0-226-60941-3), based on his Oxford doctoral thesis, in which he argued that Quakerism was a logical development of Puritanism, and Visible Saints: The Congregational Way 1640-1660 (Oxford: Blackwell, 1957, 2nd edition with additional material Weston Rhyn: Quinta Press, 2001, ISBN 1-897856-12-1).
A festschrift was published on his retirement in 1977, Reformation, Conformity and Dissent: Essays in Honour of Geoffrey Nuttall edited by Buick Knox (London: Epworth Press, 1977, ISBN 0-7162-0288-3).
Two collections of his essays and articles have been published in recent years, Studies in English Dissent (Weston Rhyn: Quinta Press, 2003, ISBN 1-897856-14-8) and Early Quaker Studies and The Divine Presence (Weston Rhyn: Quinta Press, 2003, ISBN 1-897856-22-9).
His funeral took place at Lodge Hill Crematorium, Selly Oak, Birmingham on 8 August 2007 and was followed by a Thanksgiving Service at Bournville United Reformed Church, Beaumont Road, where he was a member up to his death.
