In this book, Clarence Larkin explains the various elements of the spiritual world of Christianity; including demons; the underworld; resurrection; and man's relationship to the spirits.

In this inspirational book, preacher and educator Clarence Larkin explains the characteristics of Baptism which motivated him to join his denomination. Larkin offers in this fine work an in-depth guide to baptism, from its origins in the Gospels, to its character, traditions and doctrine in the modern-day. The aim of baptizing, and its symbolism in Christian belief, are also explained with the use of the Biblical Gospels and other sources. Never one to stray from the very core of his subject, Clarence Larkin keenly tells the reader about the origins of the very word 'Baptism'. The ceremonial procedures, from the view of the baptizer and the person to be baptized, are also discussed. Quotes of the Gospel are frequent, with Larkin striking the tone of clarity which was his custom. The assumption that Baptists believe baptizement is essential to salvation is shown to be incorrect, with Larkin careful to cite the Gospels to support this assertion.

Larkin believed that the "First Coming" of Christ, important as it was, was not the doctrinal center of the Scriptures. In other words, Christ's "First Coming" was not the center of a circle that contains all doctrine, but was one of the foci of an ellipse of which the other center is the "Second Coming." Larkin does a close textual reading of the bible in terms of this "Second Coming," the truth of which he sees as amply documented in the bible. By the estimation of many Bible believers Larkin was the most insightful and well-equipped Bible student of his day, and even to this present day. His books are filled with charts and biblical exegesis. Larkin is perhaps best known as the author of Dispensational Truth, also available from Martino Publishing.
