pairings. In fact, nearly equal number of data lines
support each of three possible patterns of pairing:
Lloyd-Jones+Stewart /// Rahner+Tillich
Lloyd-Jones+Rahner /// Stewart+Tillich
Lloyd-Jones+Tillich /// Stewart+Rahner
Tables 40-42 (below) document the existence of these
pairings among the theologically-determined lecturers
groups. Analysis of the data from each of these tables
reveals that one key issue lies behind that table's
pairings. That theme, and each theologian's opinion on
the issue, serves as a key to understanding distinctive
characteristics of each individual lecturer group.
