Between 1728 and 1729, the Cambridge Deist, Thomas Woolston (1670-1733) published six discourses on the miracles of Jesus Christ, in which he attempted to show that Jesus’ miracles could not have possibly happened. In 1729, Anglican Bishop Thomas Sherlock (1678-1761) set out to answer Woolston’s opinion. Having been master of the Inner Temple, Sherlock was familiar with the officially authorized profession, so he literarily placed the Apostles on examination for faking the Resurrection.
In this examination, the barrister representing Woolston uses Woolston’s own opinion, while Bishop Sherlock provides the opinion for the Apostles’ barrister. In this work, Sherlock did an brilliant job of using the challenger’s opinion skillfully, and not merely caricaturing them. The dialogue is exciting, and the opinion are reasonably thought provoking.
Though this book is largely forgotten now, it should rightly be considered a classic of Christian literature. I highly loved reading it, and highly recommend it to everyone. This is an brilliant book.
