William Jenkyn

William Jenkyn (1613–1685) war ein englischer Geistlicher und puritanisch-presbyterianischer Theologe, der vor allem in London als Prediger wirkte. Bekannt wurde er durch seinen ausführlichen Kommentar zum Judasbrief sowie durch sein Festhalten an seinen Überzeugungen als Nonkonformist, das zu wiederholter Inhaftierung führte. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als reformierter Ausleger, dessen Schriften praktische Heiligung, Gebet und Ausdauer im Glauben thematisieren.
