Synopsis

When most ponder on the Christian walk, they will likely run up on terms such as justification, sanctification, and glorification. This famous trio points to the faith that justifies the believer, the life in which the believer is sanctified through the gaining of wisdom through the reading of Scripture, the testing of life in a broken world, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but many simply view glorification as the final part of the journey, as if it does not have an important reality for the believer today.

We live in a world where the idea of being glorified is either viewed through the lens of something that will eventually come, but has little importance now, or has an overfocused importance where believers only focus on their entry into heaven. Both are wrongfooted. Pastor and Theologian Jason Alligood provides a message of hope for the thoughtful Christian today. In Raised in Splendor, Jason Alligood communicates the hope of glory that transcends the fears and frustrations of a secular age that not only points to the hope for the future glorification, but that this hope is one that can be enjoyed and appreciated today.

Goodreads review by Daniel on April 08, 2025

A phenomenal book—broad in scope but united by the central theme of glorification. Alligood writes with theological precision and a pastoral heart, unpacking redemptive history. It doesn't hurt that he quotes many great theologians from throughout the history of the church, and I especially enjoyed......more

Goodreads review by Adam on March 12, 2025

Of the three aspects of our salvation- justification, sanctification, and glorification the last one seems to be the least considered (at least in number of books written on it). Jason Alligood seeks to start correcting this through this book, which is a good introduction on glorification. Through t......more
