註釋This dissertation will investigate the many forms the Baptist vision takes in McClendon's work. The Baptist vision is a comprehensive theme in McClendon's work and is summarized in the short phrases, "this is that, then is now" in Scripture, and "the church now is the primitive church and the church on judgement day." It is a typological dynamic, where the biblical text speaks today. The Baptist vision is an employment of narrative theology, bringing a set of literary insights such as typology, narratology, catachresis, picture-thinking, grammar, and speech-acts to bear on doctrinal problems and biblical texts. The Baptist vision is also a prescription to address problems in Baptist idenity, such as certain doctrinal issues, as well as questions of orgin, unity, and catholicity. In the Baptist vision, narrative theology and Baptist idenity interrate, mutually enriching each other as the biblical narrative is viewed from a Baptist perspective and the Baptist identity is re-examined by the biblical narrative. The Baptist vision refers to both the way that the biblical narrative is meaningful today and a particular way Baptists have identified themselves in that story. These two aspects, while distinct, are mutually dependent and enriching in McClendon's theology
