As the dust cleared only sixteen theologians remain to fight for the title. The last few days have been very exciting as many scrambled to try and catch up with Moltmann's lead. While the sixteen do represent a good cross-section of Christiandom, many were surprised to not see any women remaining. The feminist contingent has rallied behind Moltmann for the finals, as did Jürgen's wife - a formidable feminist theologian in her own right!
Jüngel took our Ruether.
And Ratzinger saved some face for Rome by defeating Hick.
Gutierrez barely defeated Zizioulas.
And Küng mystically edged out Schillebeeckx.
McFague didn't have a prayer against Jenson.
Frei narrated a grand victory against Lossky.
