After ten years of immensely successful evangelism, America's greatest revivalist began to see the pressing need of holiness on the part of the church. To correct his long-standing neglect of the doctrine of sanctification, he delivered a series of lectures at Oberlin College. The lectures were reprinted in The Oberlin Evangelist and widely read in Finney's day. They come alive again on these pages— in book form for the first time!
As a result of his investigations of this theme, Mr. Finney, for the first time in the history of American theology, described sanctification as the "baptism with the Spirit" and thereby set a highly significant precedent.
This volume is a gold mine for the questing spirit, affording deep instruction and a solid biblical foundation on a topic crucial to every earnest believer.
