  Henry Dodwell, Mayor of Oxford
Henry Dodwell (1540–1600) was the son of James Dodwell, an Oxford woollen draper who himself had risen to the position of Bailiff on the Council but had been dismissed in 1562 for supporting John Cumber against the council.
Dodwell was elected on to the Common Council on 29 September 1572.
On 20 June 1582 Dodwell was granted a lease by the council of four tenements and three gardens on the west side of Smithgate, together with a garden on the north side of the town wall adjoinging the said tenements.

 Berkshire History: Biographies: Henry Dodwell the Elder (1641-1711)
Henry Dodwell, the scholar and theologian, was born in 1641 at Dublin, though both his parents were of English extraction.
Dodwell had a great veneration for the English clergy and might, himself, have been de­scribed with more accuracy than Addison was, as “a parson in a tye-wig.” All his tastes were clerical and his theological at­tainments were such as few clergymen have reached.
Dodwell was a most voluminous writer on an immense variety of subjects, in all of which he showed vast learning, great inge­nuity, and, in spite of some eccentricities, great powers of reasoning.

 Edward Dodwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dodwell travelled from 1801 to 1806 in Greece, and spent the rest of his life for the most part in Italy, at Naples, and Rome.
Dodwell's widow, a daughter of Count Giraud, thirty years his junior, subsequently became famous as the beautiful countess of Spaur, and played a considerable role in the political life of the papal city.
Dodwell published A Classical and Topographical Tour through Greece (1819), of which a German translation appeared in 1821; Views in Greece, with thirty colored plates (1821); and Views and Descriptions of Cyclopian or Pelasgic Remains in Italy and Greece (London and Paris, with French text, 1834).

 §21. Non-jurors: Ken, Kettlewell, Dodwell and Hickes. XII. Divines of the Church of England 1660–1700. Vol. ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Hickes’s style is sharp in controversy; in general literature—concerned, chiefly, with the burning questions of nonconformity and of the oaths—it is coloured by the diversity of his learning; and he shows, like several of his friends among the non-jurors, the influence of the early liturgies in which he was thoroughly at home.
If Hickes was the most learned clerk, Henry Dodwell was the most learned layman, among those who refused the oath to William and Mary.
Dodwell is not an easy writer; but, then, his subjects are not easy.

He wrote chiefly on church history and is appealed to by Bentley as “that incomparable historian and chronologer.” Henry Dodwell was elected Camden professor of history at Oxford in 1688.
The most important of his very numerous works discussed ancient chronology; and Bentley, in his Phalaris, while controverting Dodwell’s views, constantly refers to his book De Cyclis, then in the press, as “that noble work,” and to the author as “the very learned Mr.
Dodwell.” John Moore was bishop of Ely and, as such, became Bentley’s judge in 1710.

Henry Dodwell was a non-juring lay theologian noted as much for his eccentric theories as for his profound learning.
He published a number of learned and lengthy theological works, and this short work is a defense of his theology against the criticism of the bishop of Salisbury, in particular Dodwell's holding that the soul was not naturally immortal.

In 1685 Norris initiated a correspondence with Henry More, the Cambridge Platonist, much of which was concerned with a hypothesis on The Root of Liberty which he had first put forward in a sermon which he preached before the University of Oxford on the text of Romans 12, 3.
Dodwell replied to Norris’s Philosophical Discourse, thanking him for the courteous tone of his book but adding little of substance to what he had argued previously.

Dodwell had been very ardent against the oaths; when he conceived the possibility of Ken's accepting them, he had written him a long letter of anxious remonstrance; he had written another letter of indignant concern to Sherlock, on news of his intended compliance.
Dodwell is a well-known example of the extravagances of opinion, into which a student may be led, who, in perfect seclusion from the world, follows up his views unguided by practical considerations.
Dodwell, as he calls him—remarked of his strange ideas on the immortality of the soul, that he built high on feeble foundations, and would not have many proselytes to his hypotheses.

The train of thought which produced the younger Dodwell's 'Christianity not Founded upon Argument'--a book of which people scarcely knew, when it appeared, whether it was a serious blow to the Deist cause, or a formidable assistance to it--considerably influenced Wesley's mind, as it also did that of William Law and his followers.
Dodwell, as he calls him--remarked of his strange ideas on the immortality of the soul, that he built high on feeble foundations, and would not have many proselytes to his hypotheses.[34] The same might be said of much else that he wrote on theological subjects.
But Dodwell's Book of Schism maintained much more exclusive sentiments than Sharp's sermon on Conscience, of which it was professedly a defence; nor could the Archbishop by any means coincide in the more immoderate opinions of the hot-tempered nonjuring Dean.

 Samuel Clarke
In the same year, Clarke attacked Henry Dodwell, who had claimed that the soul is naturally mortal and receives immortality by the supernatural efficacy of baptism.
In 1706, Henry Dodwell published a book in which he defended conditional immortality: our souls are naturally mortal and upon the death of the body can be kept in existence only by divine supernatural intervention.
He then argued that the soul, being immaterial, is naturally immortal and gave his own version of the traditional argument for the immateriality of the soul from the alleged unity of consciousness, insisting that not even God could endow matter with consciousness.

The book details a natural education method that is used to raise a child named Emile and within the course of the book the topic of how best to educate a child about religious matters arises.
In this work, Dodwell, rather than being a mere naysayer against Christianity, simply took all of the clergy's objections against Deism's claim to rational Faith that they'd put forth over the decades, and he wrote from the vantage point of a dogmatic blind-faith style Christian.
Here, Dodwell uses scripture to argue against a rational Christian faith, and he shows that in the Bible, Faith is in no way whatsoever the product of a reasoned deliberation based on examination of Logical Deductions, and this is argued to the fullest implications with respect to Christian faith.

Not long before Henry Dodwell's The Founder of Modern Egypt: A Study of Mohamed Ali appeared in 1931 (Cambridge University Press), Abdel-Rahman Al-Rafie published 'Asr Mohamed Ali (The Age of Mohamed Ali).
Dodwell's was written in response to an appeal from King Fouad I to him and other European historians to enhance the image of the Mohamed Ali dynasty, which was then under attack by nationalists in Egypt for having paved the way for and then lent itself to the perpetuation of the British occupation.
Al- Rafie's, by contrast, was the third volume in his exhaustive study of The History of the Nationalist Movement and the Evolution of Government in Egypt.

 The “Immortality”
Dodwell, probably for the first time, collected an enormous mass of information on the early Christian doctrine of Man, even if he could not use it properly himself.
And he was quite right in his contention that Christianity was not concerned with a natural "Immortality," but rather with the soul's supernatural Communion with God, "Who only hath immortality" (1 Tim.

In 1706 he wrote a refutation of Dr. Henry Dodwell's views on the immortality of the soul, and this drew him into controversy with Anthony Collins.
Clarke, though in no way an original thinker, was eminent in theology, mathematics, metaphysics and philology, but his chief strength lay in his logical power.
The materialism of Hobbes, the pantheism of Spinoza, the empiricism of Locke, the determinism of Leibniz, Collins' necessitarianism, Dodwell's denial of the natural immortality of the soul, rationalistic attacks on Christianity, and the morality of the sensationalists -- all these he opposed with a thorough conviction of the truth of the principles which he advocated.
