Dirty Hands--Pure Hearts: Sermons and Conversations with Holiness Preachers (Voices (Beacon Hill Press))

In the eighteenth century, John and Charles Wesley’s simple acts of preaching and singing ignited a holiness revival among English Evangelicals. In nineteenth century America, the message of holiness--with its spiritual, moral, and social implications--continued to advance due in large part to honest preaching heard in camp meetings, prayer groups, and worship services around the country.The Wesleyan-Holiness faith is a message-driven movement. Even now, in the early part of the twenty-first century, the message of holiness is still being defined and communicated by preachers and theologians whose sermons evolve from constant dialogue with congregations. These men and women understand that it is their job to continually adapt the life of holiness to a global church in a changing world.Dirty Hands--Pure Hearts is a collection of sermons and interviews from well-known Wesleyan preachers. The collection is designed to be used as an interactive tool to sample and experience their messages to gain insight into the state of holiness preaching today. Each sermon is a type of commentary on how this message is being authenticity in the experience and expression of holiness in personal living and social responsibility.Dirty Hands--Pure Hearts is an excellent resource for pastors, evangelists, seminary students, or anyone interested in communicating the wonderful tradition of holiness and its life-changing message to our ever-changing world.
