ABSTRACT
The last century was arguably one of the most creative centuries in the history of theology. The most striking examples are the many impressive writings by religious geniuses such as Karl Barth, Dumitru Stăniloae, Karl Rahner, and Hans Urs von Balthasar, but the picture is much more comprehensive. We shall illustrate this by means of fifty-two portraits of religious thinkers from the Christian tradition, from the early twentieth century to the early twenty-first century.
