Milestone Papers: Doctrinal, Ethical and Experimental, On Christian Progress

Milestone Papers by Daniel Steele (1824-1914) is considered by many to be the author’s pièce de résistance, the crowning achievement of his life’s literary work, his masterpiece. For almost fifty years his pen and voice promoted the Wesleyan view of Christian Perfection. Here is an accumulated treasure of his incisive teaching on Entire Sanctification. A foremost authority on the Greek New Testament, no scholar of his day could best him for doctrinal and intellectual integrity. Few writers approximate his presentation of holiness as a life to be lived. Every student of the Word of God will find tremendous insight in these pages.
