Book Review - Dr Joel Beeke Holiness. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 04, 2006 Posted by: The Thompson Family (Northern Ireland). | more.. Dr Joel Beeke Minister of Heritage Netherlands Reformed Congregation (Grand Rapids, Michigan) displays his aptitude in dealing with the subject of Holiness in this 25 page publication by Banner of Truth Trust. The misconceptions surrounding 'Holiness' today are dealt with, and a Reformed Biblical view is clearly set forth. The errors of Asceticism, Mysticism and Sacramentalism are all refuted by Dr Beeke's precise exegesis. Dr Beeke's excellence in the field of Systematics also shines forth as the doctrines of Election, and Justification are brought to bear on the subject, something that very often is overlooked when handling this vital subject! As well as defending the scriptural presentation of Holiness Dr Beeke pastorally sets forth ten inducements and ten hints to holiness...these though succinct provide a tremendous basis for the saints of God to be more conformed to the image of Christ, at the same time many of the questions that believers have concerning assurance, perseverance etc are answered... A section on 'impediments to Holiness' is included, this serves as a warning to God's people to guard themselves in areas such as their minds and homes etc...The book concludes with the result of Holiness, the fruit of our Election into Christ, 'The Joy Of Holiness.' This inevitable conclusion has the effect of warming our hearts to the author of all Holiness...
