He rejected theological modernism's extremes, emphasizing the importance of the incarnation and the particularity of Jesus' life and death. MacKinnon was influenced by Kantian ethics, existentialism, and analytic philosophy, and he valued the insights of literature in understanding moral dilemmas.

MacKinnon's legacy remains incisive and generative today.
