T&T Clark - Holiness: Past and Present Theological Study

Explore a comprehensive examination of holiness in this scholarly collection from T&T Clark. Edited by Stephen Barton, this work brings together an international group of experts to investigate the concept of holiness from multiple perspectives. The contributors include social scientists, philosophers of religion, feminists, biblical scholars, historians, moral theologians, and systematic theologians. The book provides a structured look at the subject through four distinct parts: the idea of holiness, holiness and scripture, holiness and Christian tradition, and holiness and contemporary issues. Because the contributions are inter-denominational and inter-religious, readers gain a broad understanding that transcends single viewpoints. This collection fills a significant gap in current theological literature. There is nothing comparable available at present that offers this level of diverse, multidisciplinary reflection. Whether you are a student, academic, or practitioner, this book serves as a vital resource for understanding how holiness is defined and applied across history and modern society.
