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.

reviewed John and Donald Baillie: Transatlantic Theology on October 22, 2011 John and Donald Baillie: Transatlantic Theology
One of the most prolific and most thoughtful current apologists for the Christian faith has taken the lives of three great leaders of Christian thought and presented them in a very readable way. John Piper is an excellent writer and can pull together compelling words that will give us pause. This, the fourth in his series of brief biographies, is one of them. Piper's works are best read slowly and thoughtfully -- prayerfully -- in order to get the most out of them. This one is no exception.
Who would have thought that Athanasius of Egypt (298 - 373), John Owen of England (1616 - 1683), and J. Gresham Machen of the United States (1881 - 1937) could share a common theme for their lives. However, largely because they shared a common faith, this treatise on their struggle for their faith can also stir us a hundred, 350, or 1700 years later. That same faith is something for which every Christian -- today -- must still contend. Yet, as Piper continues to remind us, we must strive together in love.
For those who believe that Christianity is for mindless minions who blindly follow some ancient creed, read this book and think.
