Sanctification, election, sin, faith, and 14 other words that might be hard to define or else have other more common definitions in today's world are given free rein to be biblically defined by a master theologian. This classic by J. I. Packer takes a careful look, one at a time, at words and terms that even Christians sometimes struggle with. By simply covering one word in each chapter ('holiness' and 'sanctification' are taken in a single chapter), Packer slowly unfolds the intricacies of Scripture while pacing the reader at a comfortable clip. Packer has long been ahead of the curve in solid Biblical teaching and exegesis, and in this book, 25 years after it's initial publication, it is clear that his writings have stood the test of time to remain a useful tool for all Christians today.
