A Wesleyan Theology of Holy Living for the Twenty-First Century: The Pursuit of Perfection Across Twenty Centuries (vol. 1) by Vic Reasoner

Description

In this volume, Dr. Reasoner has brought together a compendium of theological thought from a large number of writers of influence within the Wesleyan-Arminian holiness movement since the days of the Wesleys. He has added thousands of pages of reading, a wealth of research and twenty years of maturity to his earlier study on the same subject. With well over 3000 reference notes, the present work reads nearly like a Who’s Who in Holiness Theology, making it a valuable reference work for seekers after the blessing and searchers for the truth. I know of no other contemporaneous volume with similar characteristics.

In his magnum opus we get the full maturity of Reasoner’s work. I have never read such a comprehensive and helpful treatment of our holiness theolog y. Often, a work like this is done by a group of scholars and loses its unified voice and consistency. Here we have the benefit of one gifted voice and mind. His work provides a necessary critique to the articulation of holiness for today that is faithful to Wesley and provides the foundations for the experience of Wesleyan holiness today. While this is the work of one who is in the academy, it is fueled by the passion of a pastor who longs to see people and society experience the fullness of salvation. By God’s grace, this is a resource that will help recover the doctrine and experience of “holiness of heart and life.”

In this one book you have thorough biblical exegesis, extensive historical data, and simple practical application on this sometimes confusing and often misunderstood doctrine of holiness and sanctification. This book will become your primary reference on all subjects pertaining to holiness and sanctification, and I suspect you will find yourself going back to it again and again.
