Top Theologians?
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : December 12, 2006
For you theology nerds out there…
Thanks to Graham, who directed me to a recent blog post trying to determine the top living theologians. The rule is that you can only pick up to 10 global theologians and 5 from your own country. I found it difficult, quite frankly, picking five worthy American Theologians. Here’s my list (not in any particular order):
GLOBAL:
Rene Girard
Alasdair MacIntyre
Jurgen Moltmann
NT Wright
Gustavo Gutierez
John Milbank
Leonardo Boff
John Zizioulas
Wolfhart Pannenberg
Oliver O’Donovan
USA:
Stanley Hauerwas
Walter Bruggemann
Miroslav Volf
Harvey Cox
Denny Weaver

I'd augment the list by adding Kwame Bediako (Ghana) and Katheryn Tanner.

Me dirijo a toda aquella persona que no conoce la obra de Kwame Bediako realizada a lo largo de su vida.
Les invito a que visiten cualquier pagina web en cualquier relacionada con él para que se informen (búsqueda en Google).
No se trata tampoco de considerar ningún teólogo como "top teólogo" como si de un ranking se tratara.
También les recomiendo hablar con propiedad y evitar las expresiones tales como: "voy a darle un tiro". Si no está traducido al castellano correctamente, mejor escribir en inglés con el fin de evitar malentendidos.
Atentamente,
Anne.
