The new and complete evangelical history of the life of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Containing a full and complete account of our glorious redeemer; particularly his nativity, genealogy, ... To which will be added, the lives and sufferings of his holy apostles, evangelists, &c. ... Together with a calculation of the present inhabitants of the world, shewing what proportion Christianity bears to the Jews, Turks, and Heathens. To which will also be subjoined, a full defence of Christianity against all the objections of Jews, Arians, Socinians, Materialists, Atheists, deists, infidels, and free-thinkers, of the present age; who have endeavoured to place mankind on a level with the beasts that perish. The whole carefully collected from the four histories of the gospel, as written by the Evangelists, from the acts of the apostles, from the epistles, from the prophets, from Josephus, and other ecclesiastical historians, and from various other authentic records; and so digested and arranged, as to form a regular, connected, and uniform narrative and harmony of the gospels; interspersed with a great variety of curious particulars on the subject, barely alluded to in scripture, but explained at large by cotemporary authors, who wrote on the same transactions, and corroborated the great truths of Christianity, upon which our eternal happiness depends. By the Rev. T. Priestley, author of the Evangelical exposition of the Bible, a valuable family work, now publishing in numbers with great applause. The whole printed on a large new letter, and adorned with near thirty copper-plates, most elegantly designed and engraved by eminent artists.
