SUBSTANTIALIST AND RELATIONAL UNDERSTANDINGS OF ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION AMONG CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE CLERGY
The purpose of this study was to determine the understandings of entire sanctification among the clergy of the Church of the Nazarene, the extent to which the entire sanctification affected their practice of ministry, and what intervening variables might account for difference in theologies of entire sanctification among the clergy. In order to accomplish these goals, a Holiness/Relational Index was created to measure the understandings of entire sanctification and to establish a baseline from which correlations between theologies and the practice of ministry could be measured.
