‘Good Pleasure, Grace and the Person of God Incarnate’: Interpreting the Christology of D. M. Baillie for Today*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 January 2009
Extract
The motivation for taking a fresh look at Donald Baillie's christology as outlined in God Was In Christ, apart from the continuing intrinsic value of his work as compared to many contemporary incarnational theories, is found in the fact that Baillie's christology continues to surface in many contemporary works on christology. Moreover these discussions of Baillie's work offer a sufficiently diverse range of interpretations as to the value and nature of Baillie's christological theory so as to suggest that a deeper examination of Baillie's work might prove worthwhile. The sheer number of scholars who take the trouble to treat Baillie's work is sufficient to demonstrate his continuing relevance. Even if the intention is often simply to ‘knock him down’ it would seem that Baillie is still at least worthy of refutation.

That Baillie continues to play an important role in contemporary discussion is evidenced by the recurring mentions of his approach throughout this work. Cf. p. 27f. J. M. Robinson in his response to Hick's article argues that Baillie's picture of Christ is a recognisably N.T. picture. Robinson perhaps overpraises Baillie's book when he suggests that Barth's Church Dogmatics has been overtaken in importance by God Was In Christ. Simialrly, Baillie's rejection of Kenoticism, anhypostasia and his views on the Trinity are criticised in Feenstra, R. J. & Plantinga, C.

God Was in Christ, p. 114. Baillie may have been influenced in this direction by the work of Schleiermacher who also argues that if the believer acknowledges the possibility of the divine encountering the human in his own life, in terms of his own experience of the Holy Spirit, then there could be no impossibility of the same encountering taking place in the life of Christ although to an absolutely different degree.

26 For the characterisation of Donald Baillie's theory as essentially Antiochene and in agreement with Theodore see Pittenger, W. N., The Word Incarnate. James Nisbet and Company 1959, p. 197Google Scholar. Pittenger is expressly developing a theory in relation to Theodore's account of the incarnation and his criticism of Baillie is that he has insufficiently attended to the ontological grounding of Cod's presence in Robinson, Christ. J. in The Human Face of God, SCM Press, 1973, p. 206Google Scholar argues that 'Theodore grounds the incarnation in the personal purpose of God without sacrificing either the distinctiveness of Christ or his continuity with other men. He would have agreed with Augustine when he boldly said ‘Every man, from the commencement of his faith, becomes a Christian by the same grace by which that man from his formation became Christ.”’ Robinson acknowledges that this quote is at the heart of Baillie's position.

46 McIntyre, J., The Shape of Christology, 1966 p. 140Google Scholar McIntyre regards both Pittenger and Baillie as exponents of what he terms a psychological model of christology. Whilst recognising his intention it is important to note that Baillie explicitly thought that he was seeking to offer, not a psychological explanation of God's presence in Christ, but a deeper and more ultimate analysis.

McIntyre pertinently asks if Baillie has addressed the central question raised by Chalcedon and the theory of anhypostasia, namely, who is the subject of the experiences which we describe as having a divine and human nature. Since Baillie does not address this adequately McIntyre suggests that he does not solve the main problems raised by Chalcedon. p. 152/153.
