I could list many more, and you can mention some you think apply but
this is a first attempt at listing those that are for one reason or
another Third Way thinkers. ("Third Way" is my expression and the
scholars below may not accept this for themselves.) Here is a general
link to Amazon and you can look up their books from that page (Amazon Search).
In Old Testament studies, these names come to mind: John Goldingay (Fuller), Iain Provan (Regent), and Hugh G.M. Williamson (Oxford).
In New Testament studies at least these names, and I've added a few since the original mistaken post: N.T. Wright (Bishop of Durham), James D.G. Dunn (retired from Durham), JB Green and MM Thompson from Fuller, Richard Hays (Duke), Rob Wall (Seattle Pacific), Michael Bird (Highland Theological in Scotland).
Theology is so big it is hard to know where to start or stop, but I think of John Franke (Biblical Seminary), F. LeRon Shults (Norway at Christiansand), Kevin Vanhoozer (Trinity), the late Stan Grenz, Miroslav Volf (Yale), John Stackhouse (Regent), and Kevin Corcoran (Calvin).

Dopderbeck,
I LOVE your list. Especially the part about Barth being the original third way thinker. And Jeff Stout: brilliant inclusion.
I'd add a few practical theologians: Andrew Root, Kenda Creasy Dean, and Jason Brian Santos.
Michael Gorman NT
Who's this "jon"? I totally mentioned Pete Enns first in the deleted thread! Ah well, long as he gets mentioned it's all good. Loving the third way stuff, Scott.
No Brueggemann?
I'd add Nancey Murphy to this list too, like Kyle suggested. Indeed, I'm feeling like chapter 5 in her Anglo-American Postmodernity book gets quite at what I've heard discussed about "Third Way".
And I'd definitely add Jürgen Moltmann. He has stated that the old liberal/conservative divide has little or no meaning anymore.
I might also add Gutierrez as a Catholic expression of this. He's quite progressive in some ways while very attentive to conservative theology and maintaining ecclesial commitments.
