''Several Discourses On Special Subjects: Preached Before The University Of Oxford, And Upon Other Occasions'' is a collection of sermons delivered by William Parker in the late 18th century. Parker was a prominent Anglican clergyman and scholar who served as the Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University. The book contains a series of sermons on a variety of topics, including the nature of faith, the importance of prayer, and the role of the church in society. Parker’s sermons are marked by their intellectual rigor and their emphasis on the importance of reason and scholarship in matters of faith. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and religious culture of late 18th century England, and will be of interest to scholars of theology, history, and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
