Christian Spirituality - Five views of sanctification

Perhaps one of the best books I' ve read recently - it will give you a reasonably good background to the various views on the topic of sanctification within the Protestant perspective i.e. Contemplative, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Reformed and Wesleyan. It is basically dealing with the call to be holy in the light of God's grace to us and our responsibility to have it worked out in our daily living for Him. Each section is presented and then debated by the individual contributors. These are from the faith alone perspective, represented by Gerhard Forde (Lutheran) the faith and the believers participation in the process represented by Sinclair Ferguson (Reformed) and Glenn Hinson (Contemplative). And then the unique role of the Holy Spirit in the process is taken up by Laurence Wood(Wesleyan) and Russell Spittler (Pentecostal).
