       holiness. 
520    According to Willis, confusion about God's holiness is due
       to the mistake of treating transcendence and immanence as 
       opposites and subsuming holiness almost exclusively under 
       God's transcendence. To correct this view, Willis begins 
       with the cross and resurrection, where the transcending 
       One is freely immanent to fulfill God's covenanting 
       purposes. God, says Willis, is not so much "the wholly 
       other" as "the Holy Other" who confronts us as purifying 
       love. Willis looks in detail at several facets of holiness
       --love, simplicity, communion, beauty. He shows that when 
       we recognize beauty to be an essential aspect of holiness,
       we can better reconsider frequently given definitions of 
       the glory and the sovereignty of God and can better 
       understand something of the awe-filled love that this 
       beauty inspires. Finally, Willis explores how the holiness
       of God provides the basis for the life of Christian faith 
       and hope in today's world. --From publisher's description.
