Hugh Ross Mackintosh was a theologian and parish minister. He served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1932.
Mackintosh began his studies in divinity at the University of Edinburgh, and completed them at the New College Edinburgh. His major theological work was his study on the Person of Christ. He arrived at a kenotic doctrine of incarnation following his fellow Scot P. T. Forsyth. His other influential work was the "Christian Experience of Forgiveness," which attempted to creatively restate the Protestant doctrines of justification and atonement.
Mackintosh was a Free Church minister at Tayport and, following the creation of the United Free Church of Scotland in 1900, of BeechgroveChurch in Aberdeen, before becoming professor of divinity at New College.
