By Edward Meyrick Goulburn

Book Overview

The Pursuit of Holiness is a book written by Edward Meyrick Goulburn, which serves as a sequel to his earlier work, Thoughts on Personal Religion. In this book, Goulburn explores the concept of holiness, which he defines as the pursuit of a life that is pleasing to God. He argues that holiness is not just about avoiding sin, but also about actively seeking to do good and live a life that is in accordance with God's will.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the pursuit of holiness. Goulburn discusses topics such as the importance of prayer, the role of the Bible in the pursuit of holiness, and the need for self-examination and confession. He also explores the idea of sanctification, or the process by which a person becomes more holy over time.Throughout the book, Goulburn emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in the pursuit of holiness. He argues that each individual must take ownership of their own spiritual growth and actively seek to become more like Christ. He also emphasizes the role of grace in the pursuit of holiness, noting that it is only through God's grace that we are able to overcome sin and become more holy.Overall, The Pursuit of Holiness is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the concept of holiness and the role it plays in the life of a Christian. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith and grow in their relationship with God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
