Derham is a theological work written in the early 18th century. The text presents a series of sermons that aim to demonstrate the existence and qualities of God through the observation of nature and the works of creation. Derham approaches the relationship between science and theology, illustrating how natural phenomena reflect divine intelligence and design.  The opening of this work sets the stage for a theological exploration grounded in empirical observations of the natural world. Derham expresses his intent to provide a comprehensive survey of God's creation, particularly focusing on how the complexities and wonders of the universe serve as evidence of a higher power. He acknowledges various predecessors in this field and emphasizes the importance of his lectures, seeking to merge philosophical inquiries with theological insights. Through defining concepts such as the atmosphere, gravity, and other natural elements, he begins to outline their critical roles in sustaining life and underscoring the majesty of the Creator.
