Donald MacKinnon 
Philosophy and the Burden of Theological Honesty [PDF ebook] 
A Donald Mackinnon Reader

This is a collection of writings of one of Britains most prominent theologian and thinker. Donald M. Mac Kinnon has been one of the most important and influential of post-war British theologians and religious philosophers. Generally eclectic, frequently allusive, usually intellectually generous, persistently richly challenging and always astonishingly erudite, he had a significant impact on the development and subsequent theological work of the likes of Rowan Williams, Nicholas Lash, David Ford and John Milbank. A younger generation largely emerging from Cambridge, but with influence elsewhere, has more recently brought Mac Kinnon”s normally occasionalist writing to a larger audience worldwide where it is beginning to receive noteworthy attention. In this collection several of Mac Kinnon”s most outstanding papers not yet published in book format is collected together with an Editorial Introduction by a former student of one of Mac Kinnon”s own students. They range from his reflections on theology as educational, the nature of moral reasoning, considerations of ecclesial practice, dogmatics and hope. Here is another reminder of Mac Kinnon”s intellectual brilliance.
