Edward Fisher (theologian)
Edward Fisher (fl. 1627–1655) was an English theological writer. He is generally considered the author of ''The Marrow of Modern Divinity'' (1645) by E. F.,〔Edward Fisher, ''The Marrow of Modern Divinity'', 1645, repr. 2009, Christian Focus Publications, ISBN 978-1-84550-479-3〕 a work which influentially stated the doctrine of unconditional grace,〔William M. Lamont, ''Richard Baxter and the Millennium'' (1979), p. 326.〕 and was at the centre of the later Marrow Controversy. This is a view held since Thomas Tanner's attribution of 1721, but it is contested by Alexander Gordon in the ''Dictionary of National Biography'' who considers it unlikely on internal evidence.
==Life==
He was the eldest son of Sir Edward Fisher, knight, of Mickleton, Gloucestershire. In 1627 he entered as a gentleman commoner at Brasenose College, Oxford, and graduated B.A. on 10 April 1630. He was noted for his knowledge of ecclesiastical history and classical languages. He was a royalist, and an upholder of the festivals of the church against the Puritans. He based the obligation of the Lord's day purely on ecclesiastical authority, declining to consider it Sabbath.
He succeeded to his father's estate in 1654, but finding it much encumbered he sold it in 1656 to Richard Graves. Getting into debt he retired to Carmarthen and taught a school, but his creditors found him, and he left for Ireland. Here he died, at what date is not known. His body was brought to London for burial. He was married, but his wife died before he did.
