| Stan Hauerwas illustrates the problem of being a professional, ecumenical theologian. His article says nothing, so it is illuminating about modern theology. |
The Reformation is over. Protestants won. So why are we still here? - The Washington Post:
"Under the influence of the great Protestant theologian Karl Barth, an emphasis on the centrality of Christ has been the hallmark of my work in ethics.

They convert because Catholicism is an intellectually rich theological tradition better able to negotiate the acids of our culture. "
