| Résumé : |
In Possessed by God, David Peterson challenges the common assumption that the New Testament views sanctification as primarily a process. He argues instead that its emphasis falls upon sanctification as a definitive event, “God’s way of taking possession of us in Christ, setting us apart to belong to him and to fulfill his purpose for us.” Simply to identify sanctification with growth in holiness, Peterson contends, obscures the emphasis and balance of New Testament teaching and creates unrealistic expectations.
Throughout this engaging study, Peterson builds his case on careful exegesis of the relevant New Testament passages. At the same time he shows the pastoral strength of his findings, demonstrating that positional sanctification offers the greatest incentive for godly living and growth. |
