The Journal Writings of B.B. Warfield, Volume 3: Perfectionism According to Ritschl and Oberlin

In this third volume of The Journal Writings of B. B. Warfield, the great Princeton theologian examines "perfectionism" from two perspectives, rationalism and the Wesleyan-holiness-Finney tradition. He critiques each while also showing how each is formulated within its theological tradition. With his typical incisive analysis, Warfield lays out the case for a more modest holiness rooted in the historic Christian faith rather than innovative experience or modern spirituality categories.
