Campbell-Rice Debate on the Holy Spirit: Being the Fifth Proposition in the Great Debate on "Baptism," "Holy Spirit" And "Creeds," Held in Lexington, - Paperback

This debate is of "transcendent importance to the Christian" in the words of Alexander Campbell.

Held almost two centuries ago, this timeless controversy between two prominent religious figures is still as relevant today. It addresses subjects essential to the Christian that are "as important as the immortal interests of the soul."

What's the true meaning behind baptism? Are humans inherently evil and divisive? How does the Holy Spirit manifest itself to the Christian?

Answers to these substantial questions and many more are in this debate.

It offers two opposing perspectives, delivering eye-opening information in the form of a heated discussion between knowledgeable men, instead of the ordinary writer-to-reader delivery. The purpose of documenting and publishing the debate is "placing within the reach of all the great thoughts of two great men on matters vital to the interest and permanency of the Church."
