Palavras-chave:
John Wesley; Santificação; Santificação da mente; Inteira Santificação; Terceira bênçãoResumo
A maioria das biografias de Wesley, estudos da história metodista inicial e tratamentos da doutrina wesleyana da salvação não fazem menção à terceira bênção. Este artigo detalha as mudanças de visão de Wesley sobre a santificação da mente e a libertação de pensamentos errantes. Ele fornece uma análise mais abrangente até o momento sobre estes assuntos e o conteúdo das cartas endereçadas a Wesley sobre desejar e alcançar a santificação da mente.
