The lower the number the more accommodating theology is to philosophy.

	Type	Exponents	View
1	Religion within the limits of reason alone	Immanuel Kant Gordon Kaufman	Theology is reducible to philosophy without remainder.
2	Philosophy as foundational for theology	Rudolf Bultmann Wolfhart Pannenberg David Tracy Karl Rahner Carl Henry	Philosophy precedes and interprets the intelligibility of theology.
3	“Mediating theology without system” (70)	Friedrich Schleiermacher  Paul Tillich	Philosophy and theology mutually interpret one another as equals at pragmatic points of contact.
4	Plundering the Egyptians*  [Frei’s preferred model, *not his title]	Jonathan Edwards John Henry Newman Karl Barth  [Frei also recommends anthropologist Clifford Geertz’s essay, “Thick Description: Towards a Theory of Interpretation of Cultures.”]	“Christian self-description governs and limits the applicability of general criteria of meaning in theology.” (4)
5	What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?	DZ Phillips	“Christian theology is exclusively a matter of Christian self-description. External descriptive categories have no bearing on or relation to it at all.” (4)
