Holiness Teachings - The Life And Work of B. T. Roberts

In January 1860 was issued at Buffalo, N. Y., the first number of The Earnest Christian by my beloved father. In the introductory article he states: "The doctrine of Christian Holiness as taught by Wesley and Fletcher, being as we conceive plainly enforced in the Word of God and constituting the real strength and power for good of the Church of Christ, will occupy a prominent place in our columns." Readers of The Earnest Christian will testify that this promise was amply redeemed. For more than a quarter of a century his pen was busy with topics vital to godliness. The subject of Holiness was a constantly recurring theme.

This book is a compilation of the editorials written in the interval of the years 1860-1893. It necessarily must follow that there be some repetition of illustration and phraseology in articles written during such an extended period of time, without the logical connection that attaches to a formal treatise
