ABSTRACT
Those who have played a decisively important role in the theological debate can by and large be divided into two groups. One group is, of course, those who can be called theologians in the strict sense. The second group consists of men and women who can best be called religious personalities, but who have not produced any important systematic-theological writings. Instead, these persons have inspired and enriched various religious traditions by means of works that are more similar to the works of a creative artist.
