Life
Raised in the Calvinist tradition, Baillie studied at University of Edinburgh and then at the University of Marburg, where he was influenced by the theologian Wilhelm Herrmann. After some time as a Church of Scotland parish minister, he wrote ''Faith in God and its Christian Consummation'' (1927). This led to his appointment as a professor of divinity at St Mary's College, University of St Andrews, where he spent the remainder of his life. In 1948 he, Isobel Forrester and his brother John formed the Scottish Churches Ecumenical Association, which in 1950 merged with the Dollarbeg group which had organised ecumenical conferences since 1945 or 1946. His more famous work was ''God was in Christ'' (1948), which explored the paradox of grace, and applied it to incarnational theology.References
