The Five Views on Sanctification (Revised) (Revised)

<p><strong>Christians generally recognize the need to live a holy or sanctified life. But they differ on what sanctification is and how it is achieved. </strong></p><p>How does one achieve sanctification in this life? How much success in sanctification is possible? Is a crisis experience following one's conversion normal--or necessary? If so what kind of experience and how is it verified?</p><p><em>Five Views on Sanctificatio</em>n--part of the Counterpoints series--brings together in one easy-to-understand volume five major Protestant views on sanctification: </p><ul><li>Wesleyan View - represented by Melvin E. Dieter</li><li>Reformed View - represented by Anthony A. Hoekema</li><li>Pentecostal View - represented by Stanley M. Horton</li><li>Keswick View - represented by J. Robertson McQuilkin</li><li>Augustinian-Dispensationalism View - represented by John F. Walvoord</li></ul><p>Writing from a solid evangelical stance each author describes and defends his own understanding of the doctrine sanctification and then responds to the views of the other authors.</p><p><strong>The</strong><strong><em> Counterpoints</em></strong><strong> series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own educated opinion.</strong></p>
