A Debate on Baptism and the Witness of the Holy Spirit

Bys: Terrell, Williamson, Franklin, Benjamin, Pritchard, Henry R.

This volume contains the proceedings of "A Debate on Baptism and the Witness of the Holy Spirit," held in Fairview, Iowa, in November 1847. The participants were Reverend Williamson Terrell and Henry R. Pritchard. The debate centers on differing views of baptism and the role and witness of the Holy Spirit, reflecting theological discussions prevalent in the mid-19th century. This historical record provides insight into religious thought and discourse within the Baptist and broader Christian communities during a period of significant theological development and debate. It offers a glimpse into the nuances of biblical interpretation and the varying perspectives on core Christian doctrines. The transcript provides valuable primary source material for researchers and readers interested in the history of Christian thought and practice.
