Best Answer

Jesus of Nazareth was obviously the progenitor of the faith. He does count as a theologian.

If you're looking for the next branch on the tree, I would say that it was Paul... formerly Saul of Tarsus. A good portion of the New Testament is made of Paul's correspondance on matters of faith. He clears up confusion and directs missionary work in those letters, and we still view his contributions to Christianity to be worthy of inclusion in the Christian canon, making them very important.
