Thomas Chubb (29 September 1679 – 8 February 1747) was a lay English Deist writer born near Salisbury.
He saw Christ as a divine teacher, but held reason to be sovereign over religion.
He questioned the morality of religions, while defending Christianity on rational grounds.
Despite little schooling, Chubb was well up on the religious controversies.
His The True Gospel of Jesus Christ, Asserted sets out to distinguish the teaching of Jesus from that of the Evangelists.
Chubb's views on free will and determinism, expressed in A Collection of Tracts on Various Subjects (1730), were extensively criticised by Jonathan Edwards in Freedom of the Will (1754).
