He is the author of numerous biblical and archaeological texts, but also translated sermons from the English language. Most of his writings were only published by Esdras Heinrich Mutzenbecher (1744–1801) after his death .
The Brunswick Superintendent Johann Christoph quiver and the beginning of the year 1745 at the Collegium Carolinum active Elias Caspar Reichard held his funeral sermons. The lawyer Christian Andreas von Biel was one of his sons.
