Drgb-ga, Only Christian theologians, or also possibly Jewish, Muslim, or other ones? Here is a short list of seven, but probably from a protestant audience: http://www.theologicalstudies.org/greatest_theologian.html with links to other lists. (Roman Catholics would have put Augustine or Aquinas at the top of the list and probably not even included the protestants.) Jews and many of more neutral religious orientation would probably include Moses Maimonides, and some Jews seem to consider Abraham Joshau Heschel to be the greatest Jewish theologian of the 20th century, others, Franz Rosenzweig. Many sites and this quotation from a Christian one agree: "Al-Ghazzali is said to be the greatest Muslim theologian of all time. He wrote the following: 'Know that the key to happiness is to follow the sunna [Mohammed?s actions] and to imitate the Messenger of God [Mohammed] in all his coming and going, his movement and rest, in his way of eating, his attitude, his sleep and his talk?'" Buddha? Theologian or philosopher? |

The answer to your question may only be found once you have decided who YOUR 5 greatest theologians are. And the basis upon which you choose your 5 greatest thelogians will influence the outcome of the question, so why not ask yourself the question and draw your own conclusions? Then you can take the credit for a job well done :o) |
