Autorenporträt

Dougan Clark (1828-1896) was a notable figure in the American holiness movement of the 19th century, a religious tradition which advocated for personal sanctification and the experience of a second work of grace following conversion. Clark, a Quaker convert to Methodism, imbued his theological works with a focus on the necessity of holiness in Christian life. His seminal book, 'The Theology of Holiness', is a text that carefully examines the doctrine of sanctification, a theme central to Methodist and Wesleyan traditions. In it, Clark elucidates the scriptural basis for the belief in sanctification, engaging with doctrinal debates of his time and providing guidance for those seeking a holy life. His writings reflect a deep commitment to spiritual discipline and evangelical fervor, characteristic of the holiness movement. He was known for his plain style and practical approach, which made his works accessible to a broad audience of both clergy and laypeople. Clark's legacy endures in the world of Christian theology, specifically in discussions of holiness and piety, marking him as a significant religious author and educator in the tradition of American Methodism.
