The Campbell/Owen debate on the Evidences of Christianity took place in April, 1829 between Robert Owen (atheist) and Alexander Campbell (Christian). This debate took place over the course of a month and features 25 speeches by each participant (fifty in all).

Robert Owen tried to prove that all religion is false because different religions contradict with eachother. He also tried to prove that lives and society in general would be better under the beliefs of atheism.

Campbell shows that the framework of society is built on religion, and that Christianity (and the Bible) is provably the true religion. Arguments for the existence of God are in this debate as well.

The subtitle of this debate was:


CONTAINING AN EXAMINATION
OF THE "SOCIAL SYSTEM"
AND ALL THE SYSTEMS OF SKEPTICISM
OF ANCIENT AND MODERN TIMES
