Publisher's Synopsis
""Eight Sermons, Preached at Robert Boyle's Lecture, in the Year 1692: To Which Are Added, Three Sermons on Different Occasions"" is a collection of sermons delivered by Richard Bentley, an English clergyman and scholar, during his tenure as Boyle Lecturer in the late 17th century. The Boyle Lectureship was established by the will of Robert Boyle, a prominent scientist and theologian, to promote the Christian religion and defend it against atheism and other forms of skepticism. The eight sermons in this book cover a range of topics related to Christian theology and ethics, including the nature of God, the importance of repentance, the role of faith in salvation, and the duty of Christians to love their neighbors. Bentley's sermons are characterized by their intellectual rigor and erudition, drawing on a wide range of sources from both classical and Christian literature. In addition to the eight Boyle Lectures, the book also includes three sermons delivered by Bentley on other occasions, including one on the death of Queen Mary II. These sermons provide further insight into Bentley's theological and political views, as well as his rhetorical style and skill as a preacher. Overall, ""Eight Sermons, Preached at Robert Boyle's Lecture, in the Year 1692: To Which Are Added, Three Sermons on Different Occasions"" is a valuable resource for scholars of early modern theology and intellectual history, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christian preaching and religious thought in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
