Discourses on the Rich Man and LazarusIn this work on Luke 16, Christs narrative concerning the Rich Man and Lazarus, Cruso is taken up with explaining and exhorting the reader of the nature of hell torments and heavens felicity. Besides their usefulness in awakening those that remain lost, these doctrines are eminently profitable to the most sound and established believers. Such exhortations serve to foster a more abundant cause of thankfulness to God for the unspeakable gift of Jesus

In this work on Luke 16, ChristÕs narrative concerning the Rich Man and Lazarus, Cruso is taken up with explaining and exhorting the reader of the nature of hell-torments and heavenÕs felicity. Besides their usefulness in awakening those that remain lost, these doctrines are eminently profitable to the most sound and established believers. Such exhortations serve to foster a more abundant cause of thankfulness to God for the unspeakable gift of Jesus Christ, and of rejoicing and triumph in him as their Deliverer from such a horrid state.

Both heaven and hell are set before the reader, showing the portion of the happy beggar and the portion of the miserable rich man. He presses the reader to consider, which of the two will you choose to follow? By an unfeigned faith in Christ and by the genuine fruits of that faith in a holy life, everyone that has heard and learned of the Father comes to Christ and is governed by him (John 6:45). It was CrusoÕs desire in having this work published that it might be presented to all, that everyone might uprightly say, ÒI am not only almost, but altogether, persuaded to be in reality, as well as in name, a Christian, and as such, henceforth, to live and die unto the Lord!Ó

Good introductory text.
Format: Paperback
As is obvious from the title, five of the major Protestant evangelical views of the doctrine of sanctification are presented. An adherent of each one presents a chapter explaining their position, and each of the other four present their response. What stands out immediately on this topic is how much agreement there is. There is minimal disagreement and it primarily stems from the differences in soteriology and pneumatology that one would expect between Reformed, Wesleyan, and Pentecostal theologians. Although I expected a very tedious, detailed theological argument, each of the presentations were quite clear. Not every position is defended with equal skill, but each author explains his position well. However, I must admit that my understanding of the distinctions was helped more by the responses at the end of the chapters than the chapters themselves. As a side note, it is interesting to observe how the approach of each author tends to reflect the strengths/weaknesses of their particular theological disposition. Good book from an excellent series. Anyone interested in refining their understanding of this doctrine should read it.

Incredible Summary of each view
Format: Kindle
This is my favorite book in this series so far. Hoekema and Walvoord wrote incredibly well reasoned and Biblical summaries of their respective viewpoints. I was struck by how closely the more thoughtful theologians of each viewpoint really are to agreement. We often hear the less rational (and less Biblical) versions of viewpoints other than our own. It was nice to see much agreement with each other and with the witness of the Bible.

Challenge your thinking on this subject
Format: Paperback
I found this book generally helpful. It was beneficial to me to think through how someone might arrive at a conclusion different from my own. That challenged me to think through the biblical support for my own view of sanctification. The introduction sets the stage well. All agree in certain aspects of sanctification, but disagree on others such as: how does one achieve success in sanctification? How much success is possible? Is a crisis experience following one's conversion normal - or necessary? If so, what kind of experience and how is it verified. Several definitions of terms become important in the book: sin, old/new man, perfection, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and Entire sanctification. In terms how well the authors lay out a biblical case for their positions, I found myself convinced more by the Reformed and Dispensational perspectives. From best to worst, I might order it as follows: 1. Reformed 2. Dispensational 3. Pentecostal 4. Keswick 5. Wesleyan Overall, I found it refreshing that all of the authors maintained a respectful and gracious tone in their disagreement with one another. I would recommend this book as a helpful overview of this topic.

Great comparison!
Format: Paperback
These five views are given in the words of their own proponents. Each view is then critiqued by the other four authors. These authors seem to be leaders in the denominations representing each position. This book is for the theological heavy-weight reader. It is desirable to the seminarian who knows the terminology and nuances of the theological standpoints. It does have devotional value in turning the reader to God.
