Sermons Preached at Boyle's Lecture: Remarks Upon a Discourse of Free-Thinking; Proposals for an Edition of the Greek Testament; Etc; Etc

The Works of Richard Bentley edited by Alexander Dyce is the third volume in a series that captures the thought process and ideas of Richard Bentley. As a theologian, Bentley has systematically attacked the principles of atheism with stout facts and compelling arguments. This title puts together lectures, sermons and writings of Bentley on free thinking and hard hitting criticism of atheism.

The Works of Richard Bentley is spread across multiple sections and various chapters containing Bentley's work. The book opens with the eight Boyle lectures that Bentley delivered. Each of these lectures refutes the concept atheism based on various pointers including structure and origin of the world, human bodies and faculties of the soul, among others. The Boyle lectures are perhaps Bentley's most heartfelt and decisive works. However, his interactions with Sir Isaac Newton and insights on Christianity and religion in general are worth mentioning as well.

Bentley uses sanguine language and provides references and quotes from sacred texts and other sources for each of his arguments in this title. The presence of footnotes ensures there are no doubts left in the reader's mind. As the founder of historical philology Bentley's work is of importance for students of philosophy, history and religion as well as casual enthusiasts wishing to learn more about free thinking.
