“Dr. Jessop speaks to our strengths and will help you take a more convinced stand for old-fashioned second blessing holiness.” H.E. Schmul This book ably enumerates what comprises the teaching of the people of the Holiness Movement, without compromise. It is eminently readable for all, without resort to “theology speak” or esoteric catch phrases and terminology that are only useful for scholars and seminarians. The highly esteemed author addresses controversial assertions that are sometimes laid at the feet of those who believe in “second blessing holiness,” and adroitly corrects misconceptions. He is never vitriolic, but makes no apology for our positions. In Part One he gives a brief overview of the believers who make up the Holiness movement—who they are, their spiritual lineage and their mission for the Kingdom of Christ. In Part Two, he deftly parses the body of beliefs, delving into what exactly the Holiness people assert and defend. He affirms the beliefs common to all creeds of the Christian Church at large. Then he takes in hand the various principles that distinguish Wesleyan Holiness believers from other branches of the Faith, especially diverging from the tenets of Calvinism and embracing the doctrine of Christian Perfection, or Perfect Love. Here is a concise overview of what We, the Holiness People, believe and practice in easy-to-understand common terms.
