Daniel Steele and the Holiness Movement
According to reviewer Kathleen O'Bannon, Daniel Steele firmly agreed with John Wesley that Christians should aspire to live lives free of voluntary sin. This striving to attain perfection of faith became known as the “Holiness Movement.”
The Holiness Movement while originally a Methodist/Wesleyan belief, came to have profound effects on later Christian communities. Love Enthroned by Daniel Steele lays out the doctrine of sanctification and urges readers to seek further sanctification in everyday life.
