World Cup Results Day 1

The results from the first day of the World Cup for Modern Systematic Theologians are in. There were a couple of really tight games, and the Pannenberg vs. Henri de Lubac game was todays most exciting, with Pannenberg stealing the victory with only one votes margin. Today's surprise (maybe) was the old Swedish anti-metaphysic Nygren's victory over Mary Daly. Maybe she tried to refuse to let him into her stadium, eh? Today's landslide was Rahner, beating Reinhold Niebuhr 13 to one.

Group Augustine:
10 - 8 Winner Paul Tillich

12 - 5 Winner Colin Gunton

Colin Gunton is a true trinitarian theologian, who shows why Western theology went so pear-shaped for so long (i.e. augustine!)
