001 - Direction 1

In the realm of religious education, there exists a divide among professors regarding the nature of holiness. Some cling to a legalistic view, mistakenly believing it to be the foundation of their peace and hope in Christ. Others embrace an evangelical perspective, recognizing holiness as a natural outflow of the peace that comes from Christ, freely offered in the Gospel. This book serves as a critical resource for both groups, providing necessary correction and instruction in righteousness. Readers are encouraged to engage with the text in its entirety and in the order presented, to avoid misinterpretations that could lead one group to dismiss it as Antinomian or the other as overly legalistic. Rarely have I encountered a work so evangelical in its coherent thread and precise method. I urge readers to delve deeply, for true benefits are found in comprehensive understanding, and I pray that, through divine blessing, much fruit will come from those who engage with this text fully.
