The Rhythm of Grace: A Broad Vision for Wesleyan-Holiness Theology - Paperback

by Henry Walter III Spaulding (Author), Henry Walter II Spaulding (Author)

The Rhythm of Grace: A Broad Vision for Wesleyan-Holiness Theology gathers decades of scholarly reflection from Henry W. Spaulding II and his son Hank Spaulding to offer a renewed, expansive, and justice-oriented vision of holiness. Through essays that engage theological aesthetics, political theology, Wesleyan ecclesiology, and the challenges of postmodernity, this collection weaves a tapestry of sanctified imagination for a fragmented world.

With both previously published and original chapters, The Rhythm of Grace challenges the privatization of holiness and reclaims it as a public, prophetic witness. It is a book for pastors, scholars, and laity who long to see holiness reimagined as the liberating grace of God active in the world.
