About this title

Synopsis

Discourses Preached At The Temple Church, And On Several Occasions: To Which Are Added Discourses On The Use And Intent Of Prophecy: Together With Dissertations; 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. Thomas Sherlock presents a substantial collection of sermons and occasional discourses delivered at Temple Church and other venues, complemented by discussions on prophecy, dissertations on theological topics, a formal Charge to the Clergy of London, a letter addressing the earthquakes of 1750, and an examination of the witnesses of Christ’s resurrection. The work combines biblical exposition with practical exhortation on morality, church governance, and the duties of Christians in public life. Across these sermons, Sherlock emphasizes the compatibility of natural religion with revelation, the centrality of the resurrection, the duties of magistrates and citizens, charitable works, education, and the promotion of true religion in society. The volume reflects eighteenth-century Anglican piety, civic responsibility, and the defense of Protestant succession and liberty.
