Pursuing Holiness Wholeheartedly

Throughout the centuries from the time of Christ, the essence of holiness has been preserved in the written word. Writers wrote for the sake of definition, explanation, proclamation, and defense of their subject. Using their unique voices, they posited the most genuine expressions of holiness for their potential readers. These writers’ lives are as varied as the times they lived in, the cultures they came from, the faith communities that surrounded them, and the personalities through which they wrote. Despite the diversity, these writers expressed symbiotic ideas regarding holiness that connect them in a holy paper trail leading back to the first century. Rev. Dr. J. Patrick Bowman takes a broad look at holiness literature that works well for personal study and classroom application in this easy-to-read reference text.
