About the Book
This book is about justification and sanctification in John Wesley’s
theology. And while Wesley remained close to the sixteenth-century Reformers
in his treatment of justification, he goes beyond both Martin Luther
and John Calvin on his doctrine of sanctification. For Wesley, sanctification
takes place after justification. Sanctification is a journey in spiritual
growth, leading to “the full measure of the stature of Christ.” And all
Christians are on this journey, beginning with the new birth in Christ,
until the end of their earthly pilgrimage.
