James W. McClendon 
The Collected Works of James Wm. McClendon, Jr. [EPUB ebook] 
Volume 3

James Wm. Mc Clendon, Jr. (1924–2000) was the most important ‘baptist’ theologian of the twentieth century. Mc Clendon crafted a systematic theology that grew out of the immediacy of preaching the text, refused to succumb to the pressures of individualism, and lamented the stunted public witness of a fractured Protestant ecclesiology.
This third and final volume of his Collected Works provides a compendium of Mc Clendon’s sermons—examples of what he called ‘first-order’ theology in action. While Mc Clendon was predominantly known as a philosophical theologian, he persisted in the belief that the theology that mattered most occurred in ordinary congregations seeking to bear faithful witness in the world. The sermons in this collection—many rarely seen and never before published—provide an important window into Mc Clendon’s own theology and witness to his convictions about theology’s purpose and end. This third volume serves as an invaluable resource for ministers, students, and theologians who seek a fuller understanding of Mc Clendon’s ‘baptist’ theology.
