At this point, it is not important to remember all the theologians and their contributions. However, learning the “big picture” of the history of theology will “broaden your horizons” by illustrating the kinds of difficulties that surface in theology as well as recurring trends. It will also provide important background for understanding the fundamentalist position. In particular, be aware that many of the modern theologians listed do not believe in the verbal inspiration of Scripture. Nevertheless, their influence has been strongly felt within evangelical circles, creating confusion at best and compromise at worst. 1.
