Synopsis

Discourses Preached At The Temple Church, And On Several Occasions. To Which Are Added, Discourses On The Use And Intent Of Prophecy &C, by Thomas Sherlock. This volume gathers Sherlock's sermons delivered at the Temple Church and on other occasions, including treatises on prophecy, dissertations, and instructive discourses to clergy; a Charge to the Clergy of the Diocese of London; a Letter on the Earthquakes in MDCCL; and the Trial of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus. Sherlock's sermons cover theological and practical topics: the use of prophecy as evidence of life after death; the nature of natural religion versus revelation; duties to God, neighbor, and civil authority; charity and the care of the poor; and the best means of maintaining virtue in church and state. The editor presents him as a learned, pious Anglican prelate known for his preaching, moral exhortation, and commitment to public virtue, with a four-volume edition preserving his style and argument.
