The Reformed Doctrine of Sanctification for the Korean Context

This book contains the extensive analyses, critiques
and outlines of Calvin, Wesley and Barth on
Sanctification. They are chosen as the objects of
this study because the three theologians are very
influential to Korean Church. Their views on
sanctification were critically analyzed and evaluated
from a biblical and reformed perspective. Calvin has
a balanced view between objective aspect and
subjective on sanctification. Wesley has a biased
view to subjective aspect. On the contrary, Barth has
a biased to objective aspect. The author of this book
established a reformed doctrine of sanctification
through the critical analysis of the theologians on
sanctification. And he analyzed the Korean society
and church according to chronological order and
suggested his reformed doctrine of sanctification as
the adequate prescription for the problem. His wish
is that this book helps the local churches find a
proper principle of sanctification from a biblical
and reformed perspective.
