Quotes by James William McClendon Jr.  (?)

“We often translate it “law,” yet it comes from a root meaning “to give a direction,” “to point the way.” In the Bible, it means first a particular oracle showing God’s direction for conduct, and in time it refers to the entire Pentateuch (cf. Neh. 8:1). So the law, the Torah, is the Way—and it is no accident that the chief Hebrew word for sin, chatah, means not as we might say to “break” the law, but literally, to “miss the way.”
James Wm. McClendon Jr., Ethics: Systematic Theology Volume 1, Revised

“It is hard for anyone to read with understanding what one takes to be wrong or wrong-headed.”
James William McClendon Jr., Systematic Theology, Vol. 2: Doctrine

“Presence is one of the profound forms of Christian witness.”
James Wm. McClendon Jr., Ethics: Systematic Theology Volume 1, Revised
