Theoretical solar physics has undergone a revolution during the last decade, transitioning from a field in which the bulk of the work consisted of developing semi-ideal models of highly simplified systems, to fully 3D models using large-scale simulations and actual observations as input. We are now close to developing comprehensive theories for many of the outstanding problems in solar physics. Based on results presented at the Santorini Conference on Magnetic Coupling of the Solar Atmosphere, this paper highlights some of the recent solar theory progress and discusses the likely opportunities for new advances. Of course, it is not possible to describe even the gist of these results in this brief review, therefore, I merely attempt to organize some of them into a coherent structure and provide a personal perspective. The natural organizing structure is to consider the major theoretical problems that are now preventing us from developing a comprehensive model for how the magnetic field couples the interior to the atmosphere and, thereby, produces solar activity.
