Beeke and Barrett book on Holiness

[Stephen L Smith]

Has anyone read this book "A Radical, Comprehensive Call to Holiness by Beeke and Barrett? It looks very good.

A Radical, Comprehensive Call to Holiness by Joel R. Beeke and Michael P. V. Barrett

A profound biblical examination of the divine work of sanctification. The mandate for holiness is based in the very character and person of God: we are to be holy because God is holy. His grace never leaves a man where it finds him. Grace always transforms the sinner into a saint—a holy man...

I'm part way through it. I need to get it finished before Volume 3 of the Beeke/Smalley systematic theology comes out, hopefully in early November (per Beeke). Thanks for the reminder. (And, yes, it is good. Well worth your time.)

This might help speed things up, Richard. 'Thou' is singular and 'you' is plural.

Interested in your thoughts so far. I decided to purchase it.

I just read through the free sample they provide "The Fear of God". Tremendous.

I haven't gotten past the dedication to Paul Washer at the front , but I am definitely looking forward to reading this book.

I would assume a 'Spurgeonite' would love the theology of Washer

I am definitely looking forward to reading this book.

Are you still in Lockdown? We are here in NZ. I'm sure reading this book will be spiritually edifying no matter the outside conditions.

Washer is my dude, I wanted to change my name to Spurgeonist to match Washer's "I'm a 5 point Spurgeonist"

Yep, here in the capital we've been locked down 3 weeks on Thursday, they just extended it another 2, I'm taking it as a much needed break.
That's a good idea, I'm going to pull it off the shelf and start reading.

Washer mixes a lot with John MacArthur. I don't know if Washer is dispensational or not, but Spurgeon was clearly covenantal. There is a great discussion on this in Tom Nettles excellent biography on Spurgeon.

So you are in Canberra? You might know a good friend of mine in the Snowy Mountains - Scott Clements, pastor of the Cooma Reformed Bible Church?

He mixes a lot with lots of brothers who also have him preach at their churches, such as Beeke. He holds to a Reformed Baptist covenant theology.

No, I don't know many Reformed folk outside my own church.

I almost forget to get the Holiness book until I saw this thread again
