Thou art the man! –2 Samuel 12:7 (KJV)

Dr. Dennis Kinlaw came to be president of Asbury Theological Seminary at the same time the Holy Spirit poured out for the Asbury Revival in 1970. In 1980, ten years after, Kinlaw was burdened that the spirit of evangelical Wesleyanism needed to be revived; and so Francis Asbury Press was founded in 1980 and books on Wesleyan-holiness started to be printed. Here’s a few of my favorites…

1980 – Harald Lindstrom’s Wesley and Sanctification.

1985 – James Earl Massey’s Spiritual Disciplines.

1985 – John Peters’ Christian Perfection and American Methodism.

1985 – Carl Bangs’ Arminius: A Study in the Dutch Reformation.
