On the “Hiddeness” Of The Accomplished Theologian

The more I understand the role of the theologian, the more convinced I become that the work of the theologian is best interpreted in light of his other work. Here I am distinguishing other work from his written theological work. Our most important theologians may not be recognizable as such. Their theology is not hidden, it is declared in their life. Their true contribution to theology, however, may be quite hidden.
