Christianity Today Award of Merit Best Book of
Spirituality—Academic, from Byron Borger, Hearts and Minds
Bookstore Evangelicals are known for their emphasis on conversion.
But what about life after conversion and beyond justification?
Desperately needed is a comprehensive theology of the Christian
life from beginning to end, along with the means of formation and
transformation. In Called to Be Saints, Gordon Smith draws on a
distinguished lifetime of reflecting on these themes to offer us a
theologically rich account of our participation in the life of
Christ. Both profound and practical, this book is a trinitarian
theology of holiness that encompasses both justification and
sanctification, both union with Christ and communion with God.
Smith unfolds how and why Christians are called to become wise
people, do good work, love others and enjoy rightly ordered
affections. If holiness is the ongoing journey of becoming mature
in Christ, then there is no better guide than Smith. Christians in
every walk of life will find this a rich resource for learning what
it means to "grow up in every way . . . into Christ" (Ephesians
4:15).
