Description: James Wm. McClendon, Jr., breaks new ground in this unique treatment of theology. Instead of using biography to set forth models of exemplary living to inspire the faithful, McClendon proposes to use biography as a way of doing theology.By looking at the lives of significant persons, the author discovers a theology that is adequate to account for the kind of life those persons lived. This new approach to theology is applicable to any religion, but Dr. McClendon chooses to work within his own Christian faith.The author proposes that character is based on convictions, and theology (religion) has to do basically with convictions. Therefore, theology and the ethics of character share common concerns about convictions, which can be found by investigating character through biography.While presenting four lives (Dag Hammarskjold, Martin Luther King, Jr., Clarence Jordan, and Charles Ives, Dr. McClendon suggests methods by which the work of doing theology biographically can be carried further.
