How should we understand these charges?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, three scholars from the Wesleyan tradition offer a collective treatment of the theme of holiness that includes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexegesis of key biblical passages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea survey across church history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etheological reflections on the relationship between entire sanctification and other doctrines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the coauthors constructively argue for a \"neo-holiness\" model that encourages the pursuit of Christian perfection but avoids the pitfalls of Pelagianism by incorporating historic understandings of grace and the work of the Holy Spirit with the best of the Wesleyan tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, the commands to \"be holy\" and to \"be perfect\" take on new meaning.
