'''''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 a academically satifying intellecual bridge between faith and knowledge, religion and science, knowledge and ethics, and nature and history.  This is something that always eluded other theologians such as those in the [[neo-orthodoxy]] movement.  Other theologians have since constructed similar bridges.  These include [[Bernard Meland]], [[John Cobb]], and [[David Ray Griffin]].
