God has many ways that He might use to achieve His ends but His wisdom determined the best way to accomplish them.

Samuel Willard

Samuel Willard (1640–1707) war ein puritanischer Geistlicher in Neuengland, Pfarrer an der Old South Church in Boston und amtierender Leiter des Harvard College. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch sein postum veröffentlichtes Monumentalwerk *A Compleat Body of Divinity* sowie durch seine Kritik an den Hexenprozessen von Salem, bei denen er gegen die Zulassung sogenannter Geisterbeweise auftrat. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt sein Werk eine systematische Auslegung der reformierten Bundestheologie und zeigt das Ringen um Besonnenheit in Zeiten religiöser Spannungen.
