A Layman’s Guide to Sanctification

This book is the result of earnest questioning by laypersons. Sensitive, intelligent, and loyal churchmen have often expressed serious problems with the stereotyped formulas they have heard in attempts to explain what sanctification is all about. The approach in this essay seemed to satisfy them. It made sense to them because it had the possibility of application to daily living. It will not answer everyone’s questions, but the basic issues that arise in most discussions are addressed with the attempt to present an informed response. The truth is that theology must be livable or it has no credibility in the marketplace of the church.
