What is holiness? What does a holy life look like? What did God mean when he commanded his people to be holy, and what did Jesus mean when he said to "be perfect"? Diane Leclerc addresses these questions and more in the Holiness volume of The Wesleyan Theology Series, correcting misinterpretations and setting forth a clear and understandable ethic of holy living for Christians in the world today. Most importantly for the Christian life, Leclerc affirms that holiness is not just a theology or set of beliefs. It is a way of living that moves and breathes and compels us to Christlike action. Christians are used to hearing theological language in the church but may not feel they have adequate resources to enhance their understanding of what certain terms or concepts mean. The Wesleyan Theology Series aims to discuss Christian doctrines in accessible language that states clearly what we believe and why. Each volume is written by an author with a particular expertise who also has the ability to simplify and clarify complex ideas. The Wesleyan Theology Series is written specifically for the theologically curious layperson, student, or pastor. Topics include: the Trinity, creation, eschatology, the church, the sacraments, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Scripture, sin, grace, salvation, sanctification, Christian ethics, and atonement.
