Book Review: An Introduction to Systematic Theology

book makes little progress in this direction. McClendon tries to show us what it meant for these four men to have to do with the living, forgiving God, and this is obviously of value. But the theological yield seems small. For ex­ ample, Biography as Theology shares a weakness of much narrative ethics: The relationship be­ tween the narratives in question, on the one hand (in this case the stories of these four people), and the biblical narratives at the heart of the Christian community, on the other hand, is not clear. However, McClendon does show us in a helpful way what difference atonement can make for the living of life, and what difference the drama of life can make in our reflection on atone­ ment. In this respect, it is a valuable contribu­ tion.
