This theological text is a penetrating analysis of the influential movement known as the 'doctrine of perfection'. The author, Leonard Woods, examines the historical evolution of this view, its theological underpinnings, and its implications for the relationship between humans and God. Woods ultimately offers a nuanced and balanced critique of the doctrine, while also recognizing its profound spiritual power.
