For his supporters at Oxford, the study of the Church Fathers and other ancient authors was intimately connected with the advancement of religious values and the support of traditional institutions; this curriculum seemed increasingly under threat by the promotion of rational theology and experimental philosophy. It is not surprising that prominent members of Christ Church attacked the writings of Bentley and Wotton, works which advanced historical practices akin to the methods of natural historians and experimental philosophers jeopardizing the traditional role of the classics in the university curriculum.

This does not imply a belief that the ancients were superior to the moderns in the sciences among them; instead, it indicates a strong desire to appeal to the notion of ancient wisdom in philosophical debate. This was especially the case at Christ Church Oxford, an institution that prided itself on being a citadel of classical learning.
