D. M. MacKinnon: theologian of the cross

I'm reading more deeply into the work of MacKinnon, currently in a volume considering the impact of his work titled Christ, Ethics and Tragedy. In Richard Roberts' chapter on MacKinnon's 'Barth' he quotes from 1940s God the Living and the True:

I think I'll be continuing my engagement with this fellow . . .

anon, and peace,

Chris
