Abstract
We review the theory of Higgs bosons, with emphasis on the Higgs scalars of the Standard Model and its non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric extensions. After surveying the expected knowledge of Higgs boson physics after the Tevatron and LHC experimental programs, we examine in detail expectations for precision Higgs measurements at a future e+e- linear collider (LC). A comprehensive phenomenological profile can be assembled from LC Higgs studies (both in e+e- and gamma-gamma collisions). The Giga-Z option can provide important constraints and consistency checks for the theory of electroweak symmetry breaking.
