Witness, the third and final volume of McClendon's Systematic Theology, considers the wider context in which the life of the Christian community takes place. It asserts that the church's identity is established not only by how it lives and what it teaches but also by how it enters into conversation and connects with systems of thought and social structures outside itself. McClendon continues here his exploration of 'the baptist vision,' a tradition of the church's understanding of itself, its relation to Scripture, and its place in the larger society, which flows from the Radical Reformation of the 16th century.
