About Daniel Whitby

Daniel Whitby (1638–1726) was an English theologian and Bible commentator. He studied at Trinity College, Oxford. A strong anti-Calvinist, Whitby engaged frequently in fierce paper wars, supporting tolerance of nonconformists and developing a system of postmillennial eschatology.
