'Holiness' in 20th Century Christian Theology
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that deals with the topic of 'holiness' as an attribute of the divine. Throughout history, humanity has had a sense that divine force was at work in the universe. The power of nature and the awesome spectacle of life and death caused primitive peoples to tremble at the power of that they attributed to divine forces. Christianity has traditionally stressed the loving and benevolent nature of God as exhibited by Jesus of Nazareth. The writer argues that the clearest way for the ordinary person to apprehend the holy nature of God is to see its reflection in sanctified individuals. This perspective is compared to others, such as those of Barth and Otto. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
