Thomas Chubb, despite humble roots, became a leading Enlightenment thinker, a self-taught philosopher, writer and prominent 18th century Deist. Known widely as the Sage of Salisbury (his home town), his first published tract controversially argued that the Son of God was subordinate to God the Father: the believed that human reason was the ultimate guide in matters of religion and that true religion was rooted in nature. His major works included The Supremacy of the Father Asserted (1715) and Discourse Concerning Reason (1731).
