What governs sanctification?
Is holiness measured by inward experience, emotional intensity, or perceived moral progress-or is it governed by divine judgment, revealed truth, and covenantal authority?

In Propositional Sanctification: Authority, Judgment, and Holiness, S. C. Sayles argues that contemporary confusion surrounding sanctification is not primarily pastoral or psychological, but jurisdictional. The problem is not that Christians deny sanctification, but that they increasingly misgovern it-relocating authority from Scripture to experience, from divine verdict to self-assessment, and from revealed truth to therapeutic or moral intuition.

Proceeding from a rigorously Reformed framework, Sayles presents sanctification not as a subjective journey to be narrated, nor as a technique to be managed, but as a reality governed by propositions-truth-claims that must be fixed before obedience can be rightly understood. Holiness, he contends, advances not where experience is intensified, but where false judgments are exposed and replaced by submission to what God has spoken.

The work is structured around twelve governing propositions that together form a doctrinal architecture of sanctification. These propositions are not stages of growth or thematic reflections; they are jurisdiction-setting claims that secure the doctrine against moralism, legalism, antinomianism, experientialism, and psychological reduction.
