Christianity is both a “head” religion as well as a “heart” religion. The relationship between the logical and spiritual components of the human spirit is an essential aspect of the Christian faith. In this volume, Allen Bailey Jones (1832—1920) provides a balanced description of this relationship. This work primarily entails his understandings on baptism and the work of the Holy Spirit in light of the writings of Alexander Campbell. He defends the Credo-Baptist position of believer’s baptism, while also arguing for the efficacy of baptism “to the remission of sins.” Additionally, Jones demonstrates how both the Holy Spirit and the word of God operate on the human heart to effectuate the conversion of the soul. Regardless of one’s religious background, most believers understand the importance of balance. Jones attempts to provide such a balance in this thoughtful work.
