| Summary: | Joseph C. McLelland (1925-2016) was a provocative scholar, teacher, historian of Christian thought, philosopher of religion, and Presbyterian theologian who challenged dominant interpretations of the history of the Reformation as well as the significance of the Reformation's theological legacy. He served for many years as McConnell Professor of the Philosophy of Religion and dean of the Faculty of Religious Studies at McGill University and as professor at the Presbyterian College, Montreal. This brief essay is an exercise in appreciative criticism of McLelland's legacy. It was delivered on October 31, 2017, at the McGill Colloquium 500 Years of Reformation & the World Religions. |
