Synopsis

Misunderstood Texts Of Scripture Explained And Elucidated by Asa Mahan presents a sustained defense of the Higher Life doctrine, arguing that key scriptural passages are misread when removed from their apostolic context. The work centers its critique on Romans VII:5–25, contending that the Primitive Church understood this passage as describing a legal, unregenerate state, in contrast to Augustine’s post-primitive interpretation. It then surveys the Primitive Doctrine of holiness from the Apostolic Age through the post-Apostolic era, showing how early church fathers taught sanctification by faith and the possibility of living without conscious sin. The text further examines other pivotal scriptures—Galatians 5:16–23, Philippians 3:12–17, James 1:1–2, 1 John 1:8, and related passages—against the backdrop of debates on full salvation. The concluding sections outline The Two Foundations for holiness: Christ’s power to save, the provisions and promises of grace, and Christ’s intercessory prayer, arguing that full salvation is scripturally and historically supported and experientially attainable through faith and grace.
