 Chandler was a man of more learning than capacity.He gained some reputation by "A Defence of Christianity from the Prophecies, &c." (1725), in answer to Collins’s well-known ‘Grounds and Reasons of the Christian Religion.’ - Collins having replied in his ‘Scheme of Liberal Prophecy.’ Chandler published in 1728 ‘A Vindication of the “Defence of Christianity.” The main point at issue was the date of the book of Daniel, in regard to which Collins had anticipated the views of some modern critics.He also published eight sermons, a ‘Chronological Dissertation.'
