Getting It Right: Christian Perfection and Wesley’s Purposeful List by Anthony J. Headley

Description

This is an inside-out perspective of Christian perfection that attempts to integrate the inward and outward dimensions of holiness. At the same time, it seeks to place the emphasis on internal attitudes of the heart primarily demonstrated through love as foundational to holiness. However, there also exists a reciprocal relationship between the two in that external holiness serves to help validate inward holiness. The title is derived from Wesley’s emphasis on rightness in his explication of Christian perfection—right heart, right thinking, right words and works.
