Christian perfection in historical perspective Greathouse, William M. Primary Author mixed material bibliography Boston Beacon Hill Press 1979 monographic en English

Text

To understand the meaning and scope of the doctrine of entire sanctification or Christian perfection as articulated by John Wesley, one must study the foundation stones upon which he built. In this enlightening book, these developments reaching all the way back to the apostles are carefully outlined and synthesized. "It is the thesis of this monograph," says the author in his preface, "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."
