William Whitaker (1548-1595) was a prominent Anglican theologian in the reign of Elizabeth I. He championed the teaching of the reformed Church of England against its Roman Catholic detractors particularly Robert Cardinal Bellarmine and Thomas Stapleton.
Whitaker, a nephew of Alexander Nowell, was a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. He was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge in 1580 and Master of St. John’s College in 1586. He wrote a number of theological treatises. The following passages are taken from A disputation on Holy Scripture, against the papists, especially Bellarmine and Stapleton.
