Five Views on Sanctification

From the Counterpoints Series

Series Edited By: Stanley N. Gundrey

Christians generally recognize the need to live

a holy, or sanctified, life. But they differ on
what sanctification is and how it is achieved.

Five Views on Sanctification brings together in

one easy-to-understand volume the views of
five major Protestant traditions: Wesleyan,
Reformed, Pentecostal, Keswick, and
Augustinian-Dispensational. Written from a
solid evangelical stance, each author describes
and defends his own understanding of the
doctrine, and responds as well to the views of
the other authors.
