John and Donald Baillie were twentieth-century Scots theologians
whose influence extended widely around the world. This is an
intellectual biography of the brothers, based on a large collection
of papers, diaries and letters which has recently become available.
It is both a study in the interaction of theology and culture and
an argument for the development of a new critical liberal theology.
The Baillie papers show theology being shaped by language and
culture in a transatlantic interchange. The brothers and their
social circles played a central role in European and American
ecumenical, church and social life in the critical decades before
and after the 1939-45 war. Their work remains an important resource
for an open and inclusive theology.
John Baillie taught in the United States and Canada from 1919 to
1934 before returning to Scotland. He came back to America most
years until 1959. He was one of the first Presidents of the World
Council of Churches.
Donald Baillie, Professor in St Andrews, was the author of God
was in Christ, perhaps the most widely read essay in
twentieth-century Christology.
