Description:
Life for too many African American men is a battle with extreme disadvantage, a fight for survival, and a struggle for dignity in a society which labels them a "problem." For more than 30 years, most of the effort put toward addressing the crisis of Black men has centered on what they must do to improve their condition. Without neglecting that perspective, Are Black men doomed? radically shifts the focusThis urgent intervention explores how a damning portrait of Black men as incorrigibly pernicious has been built and persists, and how the voice of these men themselves has been ignored. It astutely argues that improving the prospects for Black men requires that society fully come to terms with the narrow and incomplete vision it has sustained about these men. It then shows us the means to hear, understand, and value them, offering a new vision rooted in reinterpretation and redemption.

Good introductory text.
Format: Paperback
As is obvious from the title, five of the major Protestant evangelical views of the doctrine of sanctification are presented. An adherent of each one presents a chapter explaining their position, and each of the other four present their response.
What stands out immediately on this topic is how much agreement there is. There is minimal disagreement and it primarily stems from the differences in soteriology and pneumatology that one would expect between Reformed, Wesleyan, and Pentecostal theologians.
Although I expected a very tedious, detailed theological argument, each of the presentations were quite clear. Not every position is defended with equal skill, but each author explains his position well. However, I must admit that my understanding of the distinctions was helped more by the responses at the end of the chapters than the chapters themselves.
As a side note, it is interesting to observe how the approach of each author tends to reflect the strengths/weaknesses of their particular theological disposition.
Good book from an excellent series. Anyone interested in refining their understanding of this doctrine should read it.

Incredible Summary of each view
Format: Kindle
This is my favorite book in this series so far. Hoekema and Walvoord wrote incredibly well reasoned and Biblical summaries of their respective viewpoints. I was struck by how closely the more thoughtful theologians of each viewpoint really are to agreement. We often hear the less rational (and less Biblical) versions of viewpoints other than our own. It was nice to see much agreement with each other and with the witness of the Bible.

Challenge your thinking on this subject
Format: Paperback
I found this book generally helpful. It was beneficial to me to think through how someone might arrive at a conclusion different from my own. That challenged me to think through the biblical support for my own view of sanctification.
The introduction sets the stage well. All agree in certain aspects of sanctification, but disagree on others such as: how does one achieve success in sanctification? How much success is possible? Is a crisis experience following one's conversion normal - or necessary? If so, what kind of experience and how is it verified. Several definitions of terms become important in the book: sin, old/new man, perfection, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and Entire sanctification.
In terms how well the authors lay out a biblical case for their positions, I found myself convinced more by the Reformed and Dispensational perspectives. From best to worst, I might order it as follows:
1. Reformed
2. Dispensational
3. Pentecostal
4. Keswick
5. Wesleyan
Overall, I found it refreshing that all of the authors maintained a respectful and gracious tone in their disagreement with one another. I would recommend this book as a helpful overview of this topic.

Great comparison!
Format: Paperback
These five views are given in the words of their own proponents. Each view is then critiqued by the other four authors. These authors seem to be leaders in the denominations representing each position. This book is for the theological heavy-weight reader. It is desirable to the seminarian who knows the terminology and nuances of the theological standpoints. It does have devotional value in turning the reader to God.
