Little is known about Tucker but there are several titles credited to him in Shipton & Mooney. In the earlier work, Tucker encourages ministers to support each other, and reminds them of what their priorities should be. He felt ministers had to be involved in the "affairs of life", but they shouldn't forget to be "faithful to Christ". At the outset of the later work, Tucker seems to take a literal interpretation of the New Testament, but some of the content presents a more flexible view on religious thinking.
