Overview

James Wm. McClendon, Jr. was the most important baptist theologian of the twentieth century. McClendon crafted a systematic theology that refused to succumb to the pressures of individualism, grew out of the immediacy of preaching the text, and lamented the stunted public witness of a fractured Protestant ecclesiology. This two-volume set mixes previously unpublished and published lectures and essays with rare and little known works to form a representative collection of the essential themes of McClendon s work. The first volume focuses on the philosophical and theological shifts leading to McClendon s articulation of the baptist vision. The second volume specifically elucidates the more philosophical themes that informed McClendon s work, including ways in which these themes had immediate theological import. Taken together, the set provides the most comprehensive presentation of McClendon s work now available, revealing the sustained and systematic character of his vision over the course of his life. These two volumes will provide scholars, preachers, and students with McClendon s radical, narrative, and connective theology.

Reviews

All concur that James McClendon is the preeminent progressive Baptist theologian of his era. His work is fresh, compelling, and sometimes theologically mischievous. --William H. Brackney, The Millard R. Cherry Distinguished Professor of Christian Thought and Ethics, Faculty of Theology of Acadia University
