 Rating:  - Clear, able, but not lifechangingOne of those books with the helpful approach to some controversial issue of commissioning a few leading teachers from contrasting viewpoints to summarise theirs and respond specifically to the others'. In this case: Dieter represents the Wesleyan view; Hoekema the Reformed; Horton the Pentecostal; McQuilkin the Keswick; and Walvoord the pithily titled `Augustinian-Dispensational'.

Rating:  - Excellent Resource, though more acedemic than practicalSUMMARY Five Views on Sanctification brings together the collective knowledge of Melvin E. Dieter, Anthony A. Hoekema, Stanley M. Horton, J. Robertson McQuilkin, and John F. Walvoord to discuss the theological issue of the nature of sanctification in the Christian life. Each author argues in favor of his particular view; Dieter argues in favor of the Wesleyan perspective, Hoekema asserts the Reformed perspective, Horton puts forth the Pentecostal perspective, McQuilkin presents the Keswick perspective, and ...
