John Baillie
Rev. John Baillie (1886 — 1960) was a Scottish theologian, a Church of Scotland minister and brother of theologian Donald Macpherson Baillie.
Baillie wrote A Diary of Private Prayer (1936), regarded as a devotional classic. But his most important contribution to theology was an exploration of the relationship between the knowledge of God to spiritual and moral experience.
