Augustine (354-430)
His book, Confessions, interwove philosophy and religion. In it, he describes how platonist philosophy altered his thinking.
Aquinas (1225-1274)
Famously and singlehandedly reformulated theology using the philosophy of Aristotle. Amongst the aims of his Neo-Scholasticism movement, also known as neo-Thornism, was to show that science and religion are not mutually exclusive.
Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)
A Danish existentialist, Kierkegaard believed that in the face of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, one must make a bold “leap of faith.” His thinking led to the neo-orthodox movement.
Karl Rahner (19054-1984)
Established a dialogue between theology and philosophy using, particularly, the works of Kant and Heidegger. His new theological approach, known as the transcendental-anthropological method, was extremely influential on Pope John XXIII’s phrase “the signs of the times” and the Catholic church’s movement to respond to prevailing problems in modern society.
Johann Baptist Metz (born 1928)
Formulated political theology.
