In "A Second Letter To The Reverend Dr. Sherlock," Arthur Ashley Sykes responds to Dr. Sherlock's defense of his sermon delivered on November 5, 1712. Sykes argues that the doctrines espoused by Sherlock align with those attributed to Benjamin Hoadly, the Bishop of Bangor, which had been deemed pernicious in a recent report.
This work delves into the theological and political debates of the early 18th century, offering insight into the controversies surrounding religious authority and the interpretation of Christian doctrine. Sykes meticulously analyzes Sherlock's arguments, challenging their validity and highlighting their potential implications.
This letter provides a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of religious thought and the intricate dynamics of ecclesiastical power during a transformative period in British history.
