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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
