"William Nunn was committed to high Calvinism but remained a loyal Anglican. A fierce opponent of Arminians, he emphasized election. As a supralapsarian, he believed God set out His eternal purpose before sin was committed. Thus like other high Calvinists, he thought there was no progressive sanctification. Social and moral concerns were part of his ministry. Although he believed the needs of the elect were supplied by Providence, he tried to alleviate poverty through societies as well as the personal responsibility of individuals to help people in plight. However, he stressed the needs of the deserving poor, not all people living in poverty. As for Nunn's politics, he followed the views of an evangelical Anglican."
