William Booth, co-founder of The Salvation Army alongside his wife Catherine in 1865, penned several influential works on the theme of holiness. Among these, Purity of Heart, first published in 1902, stands out for its clarity and passion. This book is a compilation of letters Booth originally wrote as open correspondence to be shared within The Salvation Army, designed to be read aloud over a ten-week sermon series on the vital subject of purity. In the opening letter, Booth articulates his understanding of purity of heart, and the following messages build upon this foundational idea. Each letter delves into different facets of holiness, addressing the desirability of a pure heart, the pathway to holiness, and inspiring examples of those who have achieved it. True to their initial intent, the letters reflect the structure typical of Salvationist preaching, often summarizing previous messages, weaving in hymn lyrics, and concluding with heartfelt altar calls. While collectively they outline what could be seen as a Salvationist theology of holiness, Booths work is far more than a theological discourse; it is an impassioned appeal from a fervent preacher eager to help his audience overcome any barriers—be they misunderstandings, false beliefs, rational objections, or a lack of desire—in their pursuit of holiness. - Summary by David Purdy
