Thomas Goodwin (1600–1680) was a prominent English Puritan theologian. Goodwin was known for his deep Calvinist theology, practical spirituality, and emphasis on the application of scripture in Christian life. He served as chaplain to Oliver Cromwell, and was appointed by Parliament as President of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1650. Christopher Hill places Goodwin in the "main stream of Puritan thought".

“Most of Goodwin’s theological writings were written when he was older and were published after he died. His large corpus reveals a pastoral and scholarly zeal that is rivaled by few Puritans.” (Beeke, Meet the Puritans).
