Publisher's Description
In this volume, Kyle Strobel, an expert in spiritual formation and an academic theologian, and theologian Kent Eilers, whose Reading Theology Wisely was a finalist for the Christianity Today Book of the Year award, address the key soteriological theme of sanctification. This book provides substantive engagement with the doctrine of sanctification, including sections on the Apostles' Creed, Scripture, the history of the doctrine, dogmatics, and Christian praxis. Sanctification and the Life of Faith follows two books coauthored by Kyle Strobel on the practical outworking of sanctification, and it builds on Eilers and Strobel's coedited volume Sanctified by Grace: A Theology of the Christian Life. In this doctrinal account, Strobel and Eilers show students how to integrate theology into the life of faith and demonstrate how theological thinking is a part of Christian worship. Each chapter begins with an interlude inviting reflection on artwork that illuminates the book's themes of God's presence and hospitality and the dynamics of divine and creaturely holiness. The book also includes sidebars, chapter summaries, art, prayers, and reflections. The Soteriology and Doxology series consists of introductory textbooks that cover key topics in soteriology. Series volumes provide substantive treatments of doctrine while pointing to the setting of theology in doxology. Kent Eilers and Kyle C. Strobel serve as series editors.

“Like Doctor Who's TARDIS, this book is unassuming in its size but expansive and roomy on the inside. The whole life of faith is presented to us with such a depth of perspective, firmly anchored in the doctrine of the Trinity, and in such an inviting way, demystifying without domesticating a complex topic. Because sanctification is a work of God, understanding it requires a careful unpacking of the inexhaustible self-gift of God. The coauthors are expert guides, and this volume will be an excellent resource for students of theology and pastors alike.”
“Strobel and Eilers help us see how the life of faith is shaped by the gift of holiness and, more importantly, by the living God who blesses us by giving that holiness. Here sanctification sings, shows, and shapes one's understanding of the Christian journey. Read to contemplate God's gift of holiness. Pay attention to learn how to do theology.”
