Synopsis

Perfect Love: Recovering Entire Sanctification—The Lost Power of the Methodist Movement is a wake-up call to the people called Methodists. According to John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, God raised up Methodism in order to spread the central teaching of entire sanctification. The church has offered an unbalanced understanding of the gospel for too long. The promise of forgiveness and pardon through faith in Jesus Christ has been emphasized in many parts of the body of Christ. Initial conversion and new birth are good news indeed! But they are also just the beginning of the life that is promised to us in the Bible. Jesus came not only so that we could be forgiven, but so that we could have life abundantly.This book calls all Methodists - the spiritual descendants of the Wesleyan revival, regardless of contemporary denominational expression - back to who we have been at our best, in times when we have been a growing, vibrant, and Spirit-filled movement. It is time to retrieve Methodism's lost treasure, the doctrine of entire sanctification. This doctrine speaks to the radical optimism that through the work of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we can move from struggling to survive as Christians to thriving! Perfect Love provides an in-depth explanation of entire sanctification and helps readers pursue all that God has for us.

Brilliant! This book challenged me right where God needed to challenge me. The book reinforced what I knew to be true but needed to live out fully. All Methodists, anyone from a Wesleyan background, and all Christians can learn a great deal from Watson's book. I encourage you to read it today!......more

Goodreads review by Rick on May 15, 2022

Today I finally finished the appendices of the book so I could truthfully say I have completed it. 😊 This little book is an excellent little primer on beginning to understand the doctrine of “entire sanctification” the “grand depositum” of the Methodist movement. Truthfully, though what was most mea......more

Goodreads review by Joy on January 12, 2024

Writing both academically and accessibly, Watson makes a compelling case for the reclamation of the doctrine of entire sanctification by those in Methodist traditions. This is quite the 'doctrinal hot potato' even for those of us who base our theology on Wesleyan roots and I am glad that Watson was......more

Goodreads review by Brandon on August 10, 2022

Good starter book on doctrine of sanctification. I think he talked too much about Methodism and not enough about sanctification itself. Would recommend for someone who is from a Wesleyan movement(chog Anderson, Wesleyan, Methodist, Nazarene, etc .) Wouldn’t necessarily recommend for someone outside......more
