Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Holiness is a core Christian concept, running like a thread through the Scriptures. The Church Fathers, and Augustine of Hippo in particular, developed the idea; medieval theologians contributed the idea of degrees of perfection in love. With the Reformation theological emphasis moved elsewhere, but John Wesley brought the emphasis on holiness to the centre of his teaching, blending the ancient tradition of Christian perfection with the Reformation proclamation of justification by grace through faith. In 'Holy Trinity: Holy People' T.A. Noble develops Wesley's synthesis of patristic and reformation theology to consider how Christian 'perfection' can be expressed in a more nuanced way in today's culture. Noble examines what basis may be found for Wesley's understanding of sanctification in the central doctrines of the church, particularly the atonement, the doctrine of Christ, and the most comprehensive of all Christian doctrines, the doctrine of the Incarnation of the Holy Trinity. What he presents is a fully trinitarian theology of holiness. T.A.

He was recently President of the Wesleyan Theological Society. 'This book is a landmark in treatments of Wesley's doctrine of Christian perfection. Be assured: this is no parochial performance. Noble's work does not just revisit the Wesleys of old; he integrates his critical assessment of their insights into a penetrating vision of the Triune God. Marked by a singular beauty of expression and structure, this work will become a benchmark in the field of Wesleyan and Methodist theology.' William J. Abraham, Professor of Wesley Studies, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University.
