Description

This Handbook offers a multi disciplinary exploration of one of Christian theology's most enduring and debated themes: the doctrine of holiness. As interest in Wesleyan, Pentecostal, and other holiness traditions continues to rise, this work acts a comprehensive resource that map this important topic across biblical and theological themes.

A diverse group of scholars grapple with the doctrine of holiness from multiple angles: beginning with holiness in the Old and New Testaments before forging through both pre and post reformation traditions. Finally, this volume analyses the doctrine of holiness through the prism of systematic topics across a range of traditional theological loci. Broad, comprehensive and fuelled by a wealth of academic experience, this book is an essential resource for theologians, pastors, students of biblical and historical theology.
