D. M. Baillie
The younger of the famous "Baillie Brothers," D. (Donald) M. (Macpherson) Baillie (1887-1954) was a central figure in the theological debates attempting to reconcile Christian faith and the modern mind in Scotland before, during, and after World War II.D. M. Baillie, D.D., professor of systematic theology at the University of St. Andrews from 1934 to 1954 and brother of Professor John Baillie of New College, Edinburgh, was born November 5, 1887, in Gairloch, West Ross-shire, Scotland.

…showed last 150 words…In his last years Baillie served as convener of the Church of Scotland's Committee on Inter-Church Relations, which was exploring closer ties with the Church of England. Several themes of these discussions were expressed in The Theology of the Sacraments (1957, 1964), edited by his brother John and published after his death.A rare combination of pastor, preacher, scholar, and teacher, Baillie died of emphysema in Maryfield Hospital, Dundee, on October 31, 1954, at the age of 67 years. Perhaps his life is best summed up in the biographical tribute of an American student who, like so many others, had travelled thousands of miles to study with him. "The death of Professor D. M. Baillie is more than the passing of a great Scottish theologian, more than the passing of a great world-Church leader, it is the passing of a saint among men."
