An Appeal to All That Doubt

An Appeal to All That Doubt

William Law (1686–1761) was an English Anglican priest and spiritual writer. A fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, he lost his post as a nonjuror, refusing to swear allegiance to George I, and spent his later years in devout retirement at King's Cliffe. His A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life (1729) deeply influenced John Wesley and Samuel Johnson; our library also holds The Spirit of Prayer and his treatise on Christian perfection.

About this book

William Law's appeal to those who doubt or disbelieve the Christian religion, published in 1742. Writing with urgency and warmth, Law suggests that the skeptic's objections often rest on inattention rather than evidence, and he presses the reader to consider the gospel seriously. It comes from the later period of the author of A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life.
