Making the connection between living a holy life and following Christs example of love, H. Ray Dunning provides spiritual guidance for Christians who want to grow in grace. His treatment of the joy and comfort that results from holy living is both helpful and encouraging. Inviting readers to return to the biblical meanings and descriptions of the holy life, Dunning challenges believers to cultivate a holy walk with Godand he provides guidance for that effort. His exploration and explanation of key spiritual disciplines in the life of the Christian will benefit pastors and lay persons for years to come. From the time I first sat under his teaching, H. Ray Dunning has been the pivotal theological influence on my understanding of the Holy God. My preaching, theology, and pastoral practice reflect the shaping that took place under his influence. Read reverently, think deeply, and live gratefully. Dan Boone President, Trevecca Nazarene University

Reflecting the Divine Image

Christian Ethics in Wesleyan Perspective

By: H. Ray Dunning

John Wesley strived for a theology--a theology both written and lived--that delicately balanced sanctification and justification. He hoped to uphold both faith alone and holy living. Sadly, says theologian H. Ray Dunning, many of Wesley's followers have not maintained that balance. Some have tended toward legalism, some toward a preoccupation with personal holiness, and others toward social activism with little theological grounding. Dunning believes Wesleyanism possesses the resources to help all Christians reflect the divine image, and to do so holistically, in all aspects of life. His book incisively examines issues of ethical methodology and then shows how an ethic based on the Imago Dei shapes our relation to God, to one another and to the earth. This introduction to and overview of ethics will enlighten and benefit Christians in all traditions, not despite but especially because it is written in the true Wesleyan tradition--passionate, profoundly faithful and plainspoken.

The Second Coming

A Wesleyan Approach to the Doctrine of Last Things

By: H. Ray Dunning

What do we believe about the Second Coming? A conspicuous silence on eschatology - the study of "last things" - pervades the ranks of Wesleyan scholars, which has led to some unfortunate circumstances. H. Ray Dunning notes with concern, "While we have been busy with other themes, foreign ideas have virtually stolen the store in this area of theology, with the odd phenomenon that eschatological teachings that are contrary to both good biblical scholarship & Wesleyan theology have virtually assumed the status of orthodoxy among Wesleyans, as well as among other evangelical Christians." This book is an attempt to break the silence. Ten noted Wesleyan scholars probe both the historical & contemporary influences that have shaped the prevailing evangelical view of end-time events. You will be challenged to take a more thoughtful & discerning look at what is widely held today in the study of "last things," while keeping a strong focus on what scripture clearly presents as undebatable: Christ will come again. H. Ray Dunning serves as professor of theology at Trevecca Nazarene College in Nashville. He is the author of a number of books on Wesleyan theology, including Grace, Faith, & Holiness, a major systematic theology published in 1988.

The Whole Christ for the Whole World

A Wesleyan Perspective on the Work of Christ

By: H. Ray Dunning

This study explores the theological presuppositions that have informed the major explanations of the work of Christ from the perspective of Wesleyan theology's commitment to the universality of the atonement and its provision for both justification and sanctification. The Whole Christ for the Whole World proposes a paradigm that the author describes as "personal-relational" for understanding the work of Christ. Dunning argues that this "personal-relational" paradigm more adequately captures the "whole tenor of Scripture" than do the legal paradigms that have dominated the Western church, and Dunning seeks to demonstrate that the Wesleyan understanding of the work of Christ has been significantly informed by the mentality of the Eastern church.
