Anthony Tuckney

1599–1670

Master of Emmanuel and St John’s; principal drafter of the Larger and Shorter Catechisms.

Holds the Westminster position on all 35 attributes.

Biography

Cambridge-trained Lincolnshire minister, Tuckney succeeded Holdsworth as Master of Emmanuel (1645) and later of St John's (1653). At the Assembly he chaired the catechetical committee that produced both Catechisms and was the working theologian behind their precision and economy. His 1651 exchange with Benjamin Whichcote — the Tuckney/Whichcote correspondence — is one of the seventeenth century's most revealing documents on the relations of Reformed orthodoxy and emergent Cambridge Platonism.
