Preface
Introduction: Who is confused about sanctification?
I. What in the Bible is Sanctification?
1. Sanctification in the Old Testament
2. Sanctification in the New Testament
This work takes the basic tenets of John Wesley and states them in more contemporary terms. An excellent resource for those who desire to understand the Wesleyan tradition.
The term “holiness” is subject to a wide range of meanings. There are few terms that conjure up so many divergent ideas in the minds of those who hear it. Not only is this the case, but even within the compass of the Bible, “holiness” and its cognate term, “sanctification,” have a variety of meanings and applications.
