Description / Abstract

Wesleyan theologies of holiness often focus on the immanent, the here and now of how God’s love is cultivated in God’s people by the Spirit. This focus on the concrete is the result of Wesley’s practical and pastoral vision and the centrality that the divine attribute of love takes in a Wesleyan doctrine of holiness. Love, after all, is the divine attribute that highlights God’s immanent involvement and care for his creation. Wynkoop has so aptly illuminated how love is the defining feature of a Wesleyan vision and practice of holiness. I am in full support of this vision, foundation, and focus. Yet, I also want to say more, to work out how sanctifying love takes us a step beyond the immanent. That said, in this response, I build upon and supplement the two fantastic essays of this session by drawing out the theological assumptions of a theology of sanctification, and, in the end, link these assumptions to the interrupting work of the Spirit.

A response paper for the Global Theology Conference to be held in Pilar, Argentina, in April 2024.
