Grace, Faith & Holiness
Grace, Faith and Holiness examines the doctrines of God, humankind, salvation, and sanctification. H. Ray Dunning also examines the sources of theology as well as the nature and scope of the theological task. On the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of the seminal Wesleyan systematic theology, Grace, Faith and Holiness, H. Ray Dunning returns to criticize, improve, and expand on his own words. These 30th anniversary annotations included in this second edition demonstrate that Dunning is a lifelong learner who allows himself to be shaped by the Christian thought of those who came after him. He synthesizes old ideas with new in these few short chapters that will delight and edify theologians and scholars in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition.
Grace, Faith, and Holiness
A contemporary expression of Wesleyan thought employing the approach of relational theology.
Reflecting the Divine Image
John Wesley strived for a theology--a theology both written and lived--that delicately balanced sanctification and justification. He hoped to uphold both "faith alone" and "holy living." Sadly, says theologian H. Ray Dunning, many of Wesley's followers have not maintained that balance. Some have tended toward legalism, some toward a preoccupation with personal holiness, and others toward social activism with little theological grounding. Dunning believes Wesleyanism possesses the resources to help all Christians "reflect the divine image," and to do so holistically, in all aspects of life. His book incisively examines issues of ethical methodology and then shows how an ethic based on the "Imago Dei" shapes our relation to God, to one another and to the earth. This introduction to and overview of ethics will enlighten and benefit Christians in all traditions, not despite but especially because it is written in the true Wesleyan tradition--passionate, profoundly faithful and plainspoken.
Perspectives on Spirit Baptism
Perspectives on Spirit Baptism presents in counterpoint form the basic common beliefs on spirit baptism which have developed over the course of church history with a view toward determining which is most faithful to Scripture. Each chapter will be written by a prominent person from within each tradition—with specific guidelines dealing with the biblical, historical, and theological issues within each tradition. In addition, each writer will have the opportunity to give a brief response to the other traditions.

Inviting readers to return to the biblical meanings and descriptions of the holy life, Dunning challenges believers to cultivate a holy walk with Godand he provides guidance for that effort. His exploration and explanation of key spiritual disciplines in the life of the Christian will benefit pastors and lay persons for years to come. From the time I first sat under his teaching, H. Ray Dunning has been the pivotal theological influence on my understanding of the Holy God. My preaching, theology, and pastoral practice reflect the shaping that took place under his influence. Read reverently, think deeply, and live gratefully. Dan Boone President, Trevecca Nazarene University
