Hardcover. Editor(s): Newson, Ryan Andrew; Wright, Andrew C. Num Pages: 420 pages. BIC Classification: HRCC92; HRCM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 164 x 36. Weight in Grams: 840.
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This two-volume set mixes previously unpublished and published lectures and essays with rare and little known works to form a representative collection of the essential themes of McClendon's work.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 for The Collected Works of James Wm. McClendon, Jr.: Volume 2
The Collected Works of James Wm. McClendon, Jr. is a testament to McClendons stature as one of the most significant American theologians of the twentieth century. Readers familiar with McClendons work and those coming to it for the first time will discover in these pages an extraordinary ecumenical achievement.
Elizabeth Newman, Eula Mae and John Baugh Professor of Theology & Ethics, Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond "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 & Ethics, Faculty of Theology of Acadia University McClendon's explorations in philosophical theology, narrative theology, dogmatics, and ethics serve as excellent introductions to the masterful works of his maturity. His works teach Catholics, Protestants, and baptists alike how to construct a lively Christian theology.
Dr. Terrence Tilley, Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J., Professor of Catholic Theology, Fordham University The editors have done an admirable job not only of collecting nearly four decades of McClendon's work, but of locating those works in relation to his academic career and his developing theological and philosophical themes. New and Wright have, indeed, provided a rich resource that may, indeed, bring McClendon's voice back into consultation.
