Taylor's sermons on Christian history were controversial for challenging the established doctrines of the Church of England, and for introducing topics hitherto deemed blasphemous.

Armed with years of scholarly experience and a keen eye for insight, Taylor tackles his subjects with energy and vigor. He preached at the Rotunda of Blackfriar's Road from 1830 to 1832, a time when the church still wielded power and crimes of heresy and blasphemy were still on England's statute book. The unprecedented topics of astrology and astronomy in Taylor's sermons led to him running afoul of these laws; he was twice sentenced to jail for voicing his explanations of the Bible.
