Unexpectedly appointed as Bampton Lecturer in 1839 at the University of Oxford, W. D. Conybeare took on the position with zeal, delivering eight critical and thought-provoking addresses during his tenure. This series of divinity lectures examines the writings of ante-Nicene Church Fathers and councils and offers a critical eye to this early church period.
William Daniel Conybeare (1787–1857) was an English geologist and clergyman. He was the rector of Sully and the vicar of Axminster before being appointed as dean of Llandaff in 1845.
