Author: Alexander Campbelle-Sword Version: 9.x - 10.x
This, the second edition of Campbell's The Christian System (1839), appears with over twice the pages of the original edition (1835), mostly because of inquiries seeking more specifics regarding the items contained within the 1st version. In it, Campbell states:
"The principle which was inscribed upon our banners when we withdrew from the ranks of the sects, was, 'Faith in Jesus as the true Messiah, and obedience to him as our Lawgiver and King, the ONLY TEST of Christian character, and the ONLY BOND of Christian union, communion, and co-operation, irrespective of all creeds, opinions, commandments, and traditions of men.'"
It is available in fully-reformatted pdf format here.
The table of contents is listed below. Everything from chapter 29 onward is new to the second edition.
