The Sacred Classics Defended and Illustrated (1725-31) is a book by Anthony Blackwall.

Abstract

"An essay humbly offer'd towards proving the purity, propriety, and true eloquence of the writers of the New Testament. In two parts. In the first of which those divine writers are vindicated against the charge of barbarous language, false Greek, and solecisms. In the second is shewn, that all the excellencies of style, and sublime beauties of language and genuine eloquence do abound in the sacred writings of the New Testament. With an account of their style and character, and a representation of their superiority, in several instances, to the best classics of Greece and Rome. To which are subjoin'd proper indexes."

The second and last volume was completed a few weeks before the death of the Author in 1730, and was published in 1731.
