Resurrection of Jesus
The debate also promoted a contribution from the deist Peter Annet, who in the same year published his "The Resurrection of Jesus Considered" (1744). Continuing on from the work of Thomas Woolston in the 1720s, it questioned the reliability of the gospel accounts of the Resurrection. Chandler's answer was contained in "The Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus re-examined, and their testimony proved entirely consistent" (London, 1744). John Leland, in his overview of deist writers, called it a 'very valuable treatise' that showed 'great clearness and judgement'.
