Bible teacher and scholar Arthur W. Pink adeptly demonstrates how
the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the highest embodiment of
Christian sanctification, the essence of which provides comfort and
harmony to believers. We find within this volume a great
demonstration and study of Christ's being; how Jesus represents the
very essence of the Christian faith, what his teachings confer to
believers, and how he constitutes the Lord's being on Earth are
among the topics discussed. The holy sanctity of Jesus is
demonstrated to be multi-faceted; direct quotations of the New
Testament Gospels support the author's assertions. Although he was
little-known in his lifetime, in the mid-to-late 20th century A. W.
Pink gained great renown for his simple yet resounding books.
Although he commonly ventures to detail and quotes from difficult
passages of the Bible, his style is accessible - much of Pink's
life was spent teaching and clarifying the Biblical lore to
students.
This superb Bible commentary by Christian teacher A. W. Pink
narrates the thirteenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew,
identifying and discussing the prophecy within these words. An
engaging and thorough examination of its New Testament subject, A.
W. Pink deftly navigates the parables and presents a convincing
narrative. Supporting his viewpoint with quotations from other
Biblical books, a picture forms of Matthew 13 as a text of immense
meaning and spiritual significance for believers in Christ's gospel
and the ultimate destiny of all Christians. The author's
interpretation of the scripture is thought-provoking and
refreshingly coherent throughout. Noted for his unique personality
and gifts as a Biblical scholar, Arthur W. Pink composed numerous
Bible analyses and other Christian texts. He spent most of his
lifetime as an obscure teacher, who energetically wrote on subjects
of faith. Following his death in 1952, a wellspring of interest and
appreciation brought Pink posthumous prominence.
An unabridged, unaltered edition to include all 46 chapters and
original footnotes, with an introduction by the author -
A. W. Pink, the master of clear and thorough theology brings us the
complete scriptural analysis of what to expect from the second
coming of Christ.
What is the purpose of our lives? God's design is that he might be
glorified and that those he has chosen might be saved to have
abundant life. The life of faith is lived in the light of this
truth: so that Christians must remember lack of growth brings God
no honour, prayerlessness gives no glory. Yet, positively God works
in the believer through Scripture to prepare them for glory and to
give them happiness here and now. A. W. Pink looks at what God has
done for us, why he has done this and how we should respond. He
gives us marks of grace to look for in ourselves and reassurance as
to the help God provides.

The grand truth of election takes us back to the beginning of all
things. It predated the entrance of sin into the world, the fall of
man, the incarnation of Christ, and the proclamation of the gospel.
A correct understanding of it, especially in its relation to the
everlasting covenant, is absolutely essential if we are to be kept
from fundamental error. If the foundation be faulty, then the
building erected upon it cannot be sound; and if we err in our
conceptions of this basic truth, then just in proportion as we do
so will our grasp of all other truth be inaccurate. This classic
text on the subject of election is an essential for any Christian's
library but especially that of the pastor or clergyman.
The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear mental
apprehension of His perfections as revealed in Holy Scripture. An
unknown God can neither be trusted, served, nor worshipped. In this
booklet an effort has been made to set forth some of the principal
perfections of the Divine character. If the reader is to truly
profit from his perusal of the pages that follow, he needs to
definitely and earnestly beseech God to bless them to him, to apply
His Truth to the conscience and heart, so that his life will be
transformed thereby. Something more than a theoretical knowledge of
God is needed by us. God is only truly known in the soul as we
yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all
the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments.
"Then shall we know, if we follow on (in the path of obedience) to
know the Lord" (Hosea 6:3). "If any man will do His will, he shall
know" (John 7:17). "The people that do know their God shall be
strong" (Dan. 11:32).
Pink is acknowledged as one of the deeper thinkers of his era on
subjects of doctrine and Christian living. He felt only able to
write this book after studying the subject for over 25 years;
previous to this he felt he was too immature and unscriptural.
Questions answered in this book include - Is sanctification
something believers have, or something they experience? How is it
obtained - is it done for us, by us, or both? How may you be
assured that you have been sanctified? Is there any difference
between sanctification by the Father, Son, Spirit, faith and the
Word? Is there any difference between sanctification and holiness?
Does sanctification relate to the soul, or the body, or both? What
is the connection between regeneration and sanctification? What is
the relationship between justification and sanctification? Does
sanctification precede or follow salvation, or is it an integral
part of it? Why are the above important and why do so many people
disagree on the subject? The Doctrine of Sanctification is a
dividing line between Roman Catholic and Celtic notions of holiness
on the one hand, and the reformed evangelical view on the other.
Clear and incisive, Pink is not sidetracked by the post-modern
interpretations of holiness invading the Christian church.
