In 1738 Chubb published "The True Gospel of Jesus Christ asserted", which provoked various attacks, including one from Ebenezer Hewlett. It was followed by "The True Gospel of Jesus vindicated", and "An Enquiry into the Ground and Foundation of Religion, wherein it is shown that Religion is founded on Nature". He persisted in stating that true Christianity consisted of a belief that morality alone could make men acceptable to God, that repentance for sin would secure God's mercy, and that there would be future retribution. His "Enquiry into the Ground and Foundation of Religion" (1740) includes a controversy with Henry Stebbing. Chubb argues against interpreting literally the command to give all to the poor, noting that Stebbing himself was a pluralist with two livings, a preachership and an archdeaconry, and due to be chancellor of the Diocese of Salisbury, so that he could hardly interpret the command literally to himself.
