Gil Baillie, founder of the Cornerstone Forum, joins Kris McGregor on Inside the Pages to discuss his book The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self: Recovering the Christian Mystery of Personhood. Baillie examines the contemporary crisis of individualism, which distorts true personhood by prioritizing self-will over divine calling. Drawing from thinkers like René Girard and Romano Guardini, he argues that modern culture has lost sight of the relational nature of human identity. The book’s first half explores this crisis through figures like Nietzsche, Descartes, and Flannery O’Connor, while the second half presents the Christian alternative—a rediscovery of personhood rooted in the Trinitarian relationship and the call to self-giving love.
They take a look at how mimetic desire shapes human behavior, leading to societal fragmentation and the modern obsession with self-definition. True identity, as Baillie sees it, comes through Christ, echoing St. Paul’s words: “I live now, not I, but Christ lives in me.” He sees hope in a return to Christian anthropology, where personhood is understood through vocation and relational existence rather than autonomous self-determination.

“The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self is a collection of stories, fictional and factual, highlighting two themes: the autonomous self, now in a profound crisis; and the person, whose Christian sources and contours have too long been overlooked. The ongoing cultural and confessional evisceration of Christianity all too graphically proves the validity of Christ’s warning: “Apart from me you can do nothing” (Jn 15:5). For these words were addressed to the first Christians, and they now apply not only to Christians but also to those whose exposure to Christ has been merely cultural, those who mistakenly think that the spiritual resources that fostered and sustained the dignity of the human person will survive the renunciation of the faith that gave that dignity its salience.”
