For many people discovering perfect love seems a frustrating and futile search. Even Christians who accept God as a loving Father have difficulty with defining the abstract concepts of holiness, sanctification and, in turn, perfect love. In the form of exposition and exercise, Dr. Greathouse has prepared a biblically sound Wesleyan approach to teaching the message of holiness.
Holiness theology didn't begin with John Wesley. Holiness theology began with Christ. In Wholeness in Christ, holiness theologian and former general superintendent William M. Greathouse examines both the Old and New Testament roots of the holiness doctrine.
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.
A 12-volume devotional resource on the New Testament designed to provide a systematic Bible study aid for individuals, teachers, and pastors. Includes complete KJV text. Cloth with jacket.
"It is the thesis of this monograph, that the teaching of Christian perfection derives essentially from the Scriptures, and that Wesley's doctrine, far from being a sectarian vagary is, indeed, in George Croft Cell's words, 'an original and unique synthesis' of the Protestant ethic of grace and the Catholic ideal of holiness.
This deals with the work of God done in man by the Spirit. It is important that we trace the office and work of the Third Person of the Trinity. The crowning work of the Holy Spirit is entire sanctification or Christian perfection. The purifying and perfecting gift of the Holy Spirit is a distinguishing tenet within the Wesleyan tradition.
