Holiness

A masterful account of God's holiness. A world-renowned theologian here offers a succinct account of a central yet neglected theme in Christian teaching--the holiness of God. Integrating biblical studies, theology, and practical application, John Webster provides a thoroughgoing trinitarian understanding of God's holiness with highly relevant results. According to Webster, God's holiness is known not in his simple transcendence but in his gracious and free relationship to his people. Such holiness finds an echo in the holiness of the Christian community, especially in worship and witness, and in the life of the individual disciple. Profound yet readily accessible to a wide range of readers, Holiness offers an ideal entry into reflection on the Christian God.
