     It's only got one review:

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 arguments. Having been master of the Inner Temple, Sherlock was familiar with the legal profession, so he literarily placed the Apostles on trial for faking the Resurrection.
     In this trial, the barrister representing Woolston uses Woolston's own arguments, while Bishop Sherlock provides the arguments for the Apostles' barrister. In this work, Sherlock did an excellent job of using the opposition's arguments skillfully, and not merely caricaturing them. The dialogue is exciting, and the arguments are quite thought provoking.
     Though this book is largely forgotten now, it should rightly be considered a classic of Christian literature. I highly enjoyed reading it, and highly recommend it to everyone. This is an excellent book.
