A PRESENTATION OF PERFECTION<br />
By<br />
Dr. Mark Eckart<br />
Preface<br />
This book came about as a result <strong>of</strong> the dissertation I did for my doctoral studies. It was<br />
interesting and insightful to study historically about the doctrine <strong>of</strong> entire sanctification.<br />
As the book title suggests, this study is comprehensive in that I researched the development <strong>of</strong> the<br />
doctrine <strong>of</strong> sanctification from the time that Methodism started in America. This manuscript is also<br />
specific in that I studied twenty years <strong>of</strong> articles in the God's Revivalist concerning sanctification.<br />
The years examined were 1906-1910, 1930-1934, 1956-1960, 1980-1984. Men like Martin Wells<br />
Knapp, A. M. Hills, Oswald Chambers, Samuel Brengle, E. E. Shelhamer, T. M. Anderson, Leslie<br />
Wilcox, and H. E. Schmul gave some interesting truths concerning this great doctrine <strong>of</strong> holiness.<br />
I have endeavored to change some <strong>of</strong> the language, so this book is not as technical as the<br />
dissertation. My prayer is that this book will help people to better understand the holiness doctrine;<br />
but, more importantly, that they may come to know the Holy Spirit in His fullness. In other words,<br />
to be entirely sanctified!<br />
