An examination of philosophical, theological, and ethical dilemmas within the Christian faith.
In this reprinted edition of Borderlands of Theology, Donald MacKinnon examines philosophical, theological, and ethical dilemmas, bringing his theological expertise to bear alongside his scientific knowledge. Formulating his estimations through the person of Jesus Christ, he maintains a commitment to the concrete and the actual whilst resolutely believing in the search for truth as meaningful beyond a simple search for facts. Working on the frontiers where Christian belief and theology are tested, Mackinnon’s work remains relevant today as a consideration of how Christian faith interacts with ethics, philosophy, politics, the philosophy of history, metaphysics, and epistemology. Mackinnon offers wisdom, guidance, and a grounded exploration of theology for all those interested in the intersection between theology, philosophy, and ethics.
Donald MacKinnon (1913 – 1994) was a Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Kebble College, Oxford, and Regius Professor of Moral Philosophy at Aberdeen for thirteen years. He was also Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity at Cambridge and Fellow of Corpus Christi College from 1960.
- By (author) Donald Mackinnon
"It is one of the merits of these essays that, though they bear heavily on all the contemporary theological debates, they cut right through all the nonsense and jargon of the schools and disclose some of the depth of the real issues at stake." A. D. Galloway in Religious Studies, Vol. 5, No.1, October, 1969, pp. 115-119. Published by the Cambridge University Press "It is impossible to summarize adequately a book which is so wide-ranging and sceptical (in the deepest sense). It may perhaps convey to those not fortunate enough to have been his pupils Professor MacKinnon's qualities as a teacher." Hugo Meynell in New Blackfriars, June 1969, Vol. 50, No. 589, p. 499. Published by Wiley.
