In his book A Theology of Word and Spirit: Authority and Method in Theology, Donald Bloesch offers a typology of contemporary theology:-

1. A theology of restoration that attacks modernity without serious engagement with it (Warfield, Carl Henry, Tom Oden).

2. A theology of accommodation that seeks to forge a unity between secular and religious wisdom (Schleiermacher, David Tracy, John Hick).

3. A theology of correlation that seeks a new synthesis between Christian faith and modern claims (Tillich, Kung, Pannenberg).

4. A theology of confrontation that does not ignore modern issues but calls them into question on the basis of the core Christian message (Calvin, Barth, Kuyper).
