Twenty-eight Objections Against the Doctrine of Double-birth Perfection Commonly Called the "second-work Sanctification."

In ＂Twenty-eight Objections Against the Doctrine of Double-birth Perfection Commonly Called the ’second-work Sanctification, ’＂ J.K. Alwood presents a detailed theological critique of the doctrine of Christian perfection, a key tenet within Wesleyan-Methodist theology. Written in 1880, this work engages directly with arguments supporting the idea of a ’second blessing’ or ’second work of grace’ that leads to complete sanctification. Alwood meticulously outlines twenty-eight distinct objections, offering a counterpoint to prevailing views on holiness and spiritual attainment.

This book provides valuable insight into 19th-century theological debates surrounding sanctification and Christian perfection. It remains relevant for scholars and students interested in Methodist history, Wesleyan theology, and the broader development of holiness movements. Readers will find Alwood’s arguments thought-provoking, offering a nuanced perspective on a complex theological issue that continues to be discussed today.
