The doctrine of holiness is a many faceted subject, and many are the books which have been written on the various phases of the theme. Not often, however, does a study as comprehensive as this one appear. Dr. Metz has undertaken to give a broad analysis of holiness from the theological exegetical, and experiential viewpoints. As the biblical basis is accented, and voluminous references to both Old and New Testaments are included. Establishing the fact that holiness is rooted in the attributes of God (and more especially His holiness), and that man's need for it grows out of the fact of sin, Dr. Metz gives the logical, ethical, and scriptural reasons why man has an inner yearning for holiness of heart. Scrupulously careful about definitions, the author discusses the errors which have developed concerning the Wesleyan doctrine of entire sanctification. He establishes that this is a regeneration which is attainable in this life and which is the springboard for unending spiritual growth.
