About This Item
London: Printed for John Whiston..., 1747. 8vo, pp. x [xi Contents, xii Errata and Addenda], 268 [269 - 272 adverts], contemporary calf; covers detached, spine and corners worn. Jortin (16981770) published an early form of this work as Four Sermons in 1720, and this longer book first appeared in 1746; there were at least four further editions in the 18th century. B. W. Young in his fine Oxford DNB entry for Jortin notes that the work " laid out the grounds for Christian belief by presenting a providential reading of the time of Christ's appearance, the miraculous propagation of the faith by unlettered followers, and the assuredly divine testimony of the scripturesall of which were typical resources for eighteenth-century apologetic, and were presented by Jortin with eloquent and economic conviction."
