Greatest 20th Cent. Orthodox Theologian?

[paleodoxy]

If Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow was the greatest Orthodox theologian of the 19th century, what about the 20th?

Vladmir Lossky is one contemporary theologian I have read.

In Orthodoxy, a theologian is one who knows and loves God through prayer.

I think that St. Nectarios and St. John of San Francisco tie for this honor. Archbishop Anthony Bloom may well be in the same league. However, there are many martyrs under communism who also were great theologians.

St. John of Kronstat also was known for his sanctity and words of wisdom.

My vote goes to Fr. Alexander Schmemann,

St. John the Kronstaldt seems to be one of my favorites, but also Fr. Alexander Schmemann. It is very hard to decide on one.

God bless,
