'''Henry Nelson Wieman''' (1884-1975) is a famous classical [[liberal Christianity|liberal Christian]] theologian and a Unitarian.  As a theologian his major achievement is finding an academically satisfying intellecual bridge between faith and knowledge, religion and science, knowledge and ethics, and nature and history. His bridge is religiously [[God|Theistic]] rather than secularly humanistic in nature.  This is something that had always eluded other theologians such as those in the [[neo-orthodoxy]] movement.  Other theologians have since constructed similar bridges, these later bridges are often thought to be somewhat more sound.  These theologians include [[Bernard Meland]], [[John Cobb]], and [[David Ray Griffin]].<ref>''[http://books.google.com/books?id=VpafCAIMCowC Faith and Knowledge]'',  [[Douglas M.

==Is John Dewey a theist?==

Wieman famously interpreted [[John Dewey]]'s thesis of ''A Common Faith'' (1934) as one of [[process theology]].  This led to a ''[[Christian Century]]'' article "Is John Dewey a theist?", which [[John Dewey]] responded to and Wieman eventually took back his original interpretation.  Another liberal theologian [[Charles Hartshorne]] has stated that Wieman was correct and that Dewey had in fact expressed a theist argument in ''A Common Faith''.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=LOc6q5lmEj8C&pg=PA524&lpg=PA524&dq=%22Henry+Neslon+Weiman&source=bl&ots=UMGKlGexQt&sig=XUCc4kmyGSjdI8tkKT1Zx03vqtk&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result#PPA525,M1 ''John Dewey: Religious Faith and Democratic Humanism''], Steven C.
