Possessed by God: A New Testament Theology of Sanctification and Holiness (New Studies in Biblical Theology)

Challenging the common assumption that the New Testament views sanctification as primarily a process, David Peterson argues that its emphasis falls upon sanctification as a definitive event. He builds his case on careful exegesis, and at the same time shows the pastoral strength of his findings, demonstrating that positional sanctification offers the greatest incentive for godly living.
