This review highlights current theoretical research on eruptive phenomena in the solar atmosphere. We start by looking back upon the early theories and their development. Any theory and model of solar eruptions must explain two key aspects of eruption physics. The first aspect concerns the original cause of the eruption and the second pertains to the nature of the morphological features that form during its evolution. Those features include rapid ejection of large-scale magnetic flux and plasma into interplanetary space, and the separating of ribbons of H/α emission on the solar disk joined by a rising arcade of soft X-ray and H/α loops, with hard X-ray emission at their summits and feet. We intercompare relevant theories and models by discussing their advantages as well as by pointing out important aspects that need improvement.
