Voices on Holiness from the Evangelical Association (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

THIS SCHMUL PUBLISHING CO. EDITION IS NOT A SCANNED FACSIMILE OF A USED BOOK. It has been carefully typeset and proofread for accuracy and for easier reading by today's readers. Consequently there are no odd characters or missing text. In the nineteenth century, the German Americans of the Evangelical Association unashamedly set forth the blessing of heart holiness. This volume is a compendium of the church's teaching and beliefs concerning entire sanctification at the height of the Holiness Revival in America. It closely followed the forms and teachings of the Methodist Church, complete with its own conference structure, bishops and Book of Discipline. Launched among the German community in Pennsylvania soon after the Revolutionary War, the reader will observe slight cultural distinctions from the Methodist Church, but will also readily see the movement of the Holy Spirit in cleansing power among any who are eager to receive him. Here is a restatement of the Second Blessing in no uncertain sound, joyfully proclaiming among all peoples of the nation and the world the Wesleyan doctrine of liberation from the guilt and power of sin.
