A Layman's Guide to Sanctification

By H. Ray Dunning

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.

Short Guide on Entire Sanctification

H. Ray Dunning has written this short book on the subject of the doctrine of entire sanctification from a Wesleyan-Nazarene perspective. Dunning's work is written for "laymen" and is not a technical work. The book answers questions about the subject of entire sanctification and it is Dunning's desire to lead the reader into the fullness of the Spirit through the baptism with the Holy Spirit for the purpose of entire sanctification or Christian perfection (from John Wesley). While the reader might not agree fully with Dunning's views, this book is helpful in studying Wesleyan theology especially the emphasis on holiness.
