Publisher's Synopsis
The Russell-White Debate: A Public Discussion is a book that features a debate between two prominent figures in the religious world: Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and E. L. White, a well-known minister in the Christian Church. The debate took place in 1908 and was held in Brooklyn, New York, in front of a large audience.The book includes the full transcript of the debate, which focused on the topic of ""The Atonement"" and the role of Jesus Christ in salvation. Russell argued that Jesus' death on the cross was a ransom sacrifice that paid the price for the sins of humanity, while White countered that Jesus' death was a demonstration of God's love and a means of inspiring people to live better lives.In addition to the debate itself, the book also includes an introduction by the editor, which provides historical context and background information on both Russell and White. The editor also includes footnotes throughout the text, which provide additional information and clarification on certain points made by the debaters.Overall, the Russell-White Debate: A Public Discussion is a fascinating look at an important moment in religious history, and provides valuable insights into the beliefs and arguments of two influential figures in the Christian world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
