About: Pursuing Holiness in the Lord.

Holiness is something to be pursued, though never in our own strength. Here Jonathan Edwards explores the believer’s essential role in God’s work of sanctification. The three sermons made accessible in this volume—“The Character of Paul an Example to the Christians,” “Hope and Comfort Usually Follow Genuine Humiliation and Repentance,” and “The Preciousness of Time”—guide us past the rival pitfalls of lawlessness and works-righteousness.

T. M. Moore has divided these selections into thirteen brief chapters, added introductory remarks and subheadings, and concluded each chapter with questions to promote reflection and application.
