Christians generally recognize the need to live a holy, or
sanctified, life. But they differ on what sanctification is and how
it is achieved. How does one achieve sanctification in this life?
How much success in sanctification is possible? Is a crisis
experience following one's conversion normal--or necessary? If so,
what kind of experience, and how is it verified? Five Views on
Sanctification--part of the Counterpoints series--brings together
in one easy-to-understand volume five major Protestant views on
sanctification: Wesleyan View - represented by Melvin E. Dieter
Reformed View - represented by Anthony A. Hoekema Pentecostal View
- represented by Stanley M. Horton Keswick View - represented by J.
Robertson McQuilkin Augustinian-Dispensationalism View -
represented by John F. Walvoord Writing from a solid evangelical
stance, each author describes and defends his own understanding of
the doctrine sanctification and then responds to the views of the
other authors. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and
critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that
are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each
volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the
different positions on a specific issue and form their own,
educated opinion.
This new edition expands and updates the only general
interpretation of the rise and influence of perfectionist
revivalism in America and Europe. Fifteen years of expanding
research on the holiness movement reinforce this volume's
continuing seminal value to cultural and social research. The new
concluding essay describes the history of the revival through the
turn of the century. This book expands our understanding of the
fragmentation and coalescence of American religion by analyzing the
factors which created numerous new holiness denominations. Dieter
also outlines the historical and theological factors that separate
this largely Wesleyan and Methodist wing of evangelicalism from the
fundamentalism of Reformed evangelicals. The identification of such
nuances will prove especially helpful to those struggling with the
extreme diversity in American religion, especially in
evangelicalism. For students and scholars of American religious
movements as well as students of the feminist, temperance,
abolitionist, and populist movements in American society.
