Oliver Heywood (1630-1702) was a reformed puritan minister of the Gospel, with a passion for evangelism.

In “The Way of Holiness,” Heywood offers a weighty and direct explanation of the Christian’s sacred duty to pursue holiness in every aspect of life. Rooted in Scripture, Heywood pulls from three pivotal biblical texts—Hebrews 10:25, 2 Peter 1:5-7, and Galatians 1:4-5—to lay out a compelling vision of the sincere believer’s journey toward spiritual purity in submission to Christ.

Drawing on Hebrews 10:25, he reminds us of the urgency of holiness, with Christ’s return drawing near, urging Christians to live diligently and fervently in faith. In 2 Peter 1:5-7, Heywood emphasizes the importance of cultivating the virtues that reflect God’s nature—faith, virtue, knowledge, and godliness—as essential markers of a holy life. Finally, in Galatians 1:4-5, he calls believers to remember the redemptive deliverance Christ has brought, freeing them from sin’s dominion, and inspiring them to live for God’s glory.

The Way of Holiness challenges professing Christians to move beyond a mere outward display of religion and into a vibrant, transformative pursuit of holiness—lived out in community, dedicated to the glory of God, and characterized by a life of practical piety. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper, more intentional Christian walk in a world that desperately needs the light of holiness. This is a call to practical Christian living and spiritual purity to the glory of King Jesus.
