Okay. Okay, you twisted my arm, so I put together two articles on Contemporary Theology.
Contemporary Theology is an interesting subject overall. It is historical theology that is really only about 100-50 years old. One day it will be "historical" theology, but now we have to call it contemporary theology, though I put it in the historical theology section of the site. (HERE)
The first is an overview (very simplistic) of trends in contemporary theology today. It covers:
Fundamentalism
Neo-orthodoxy
Pentecostalism
Evangelicalism
Neo-liberalism
Post-Vatican II Catholicism
Eastern Orthodox Theology
The Charismatic Movement
The Theology of Hope
Process Theology
Secular Theology
Theologies of Success
Liberation Theology
Third Wave Movement: The Vineyard Movement
Feminist Theology
Reconstructionist (Dominion) Theology
The New Age Movement
Creation Spirituality
Two Third-World Theological Directions
Check it out here:

The second is more about how to think about theology, and how the Post-modern church thinks about theology. It is here:

Enjoy!
