Recommended reading: Yasuharu Nakano: Self and Other in the Theology of Robert Barclay
Robert Barclay. In his doctoral thesis from April 2011, Yasuharu Nakano offers a compelling reading of Robert Barclay's thinking and its implications for contemporary theology (get it here ). Nakano discusses Barclay's historical background from Augustine to the reformers, and the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism, as well as his later reception in Evangelical and Liberal Quakerism. He also relates aspects of Barclay's thought to contemporary debates on pacifism and ecclesiology, e.g. Yoder and Hauerwas.
