To every log-concave function f one may associate a pair of measures (mu f,nu f)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$(\mu _{f},\nu _{f})$$\end{document} which are the surface area measures of f. These are a functional extension of the classical surface area measure of a convex body, and measure how the integral integral f\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\int f$$\end{document} changes under perturbations. The functional Minkowski problem then asks which pairs of measures can be obtained as the surface area measures of a log-concave function. In this work, we fully solve this problem. Furthermore, we prove that the surface area measures are continuous with respect to a suitable topology: If fk -> f\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k}\rightarrow f$$\end{document}, then mu fk,nu fk ->mu f,nu f\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\left( \mu _{f_{k}},\nu _{f_{k}}\right) \rightarrow \left( \mu _{f},\nu _{f}\right) $$\end{document} in a corresponding sense. Finding the appropriate mode of convergence of the pairs mu fk,nu fk\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\left( \mu _{f_{k}},\nu _{f_{k}}\right) $$\end{document} sheds a new light on the construction of functional surface area measures. To prove this continuity theorem we associate to every convex function a new type of radial function, which seems to be an interesting construction on its own right. Finally, we prove that the solution to the functional Minkowski problem is continuous in the data, in the sense that if mu fk,nu fk ->mu f,nu f\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\left( \mu _{f_{k}},\nu _{f_{k}}\right) \rightarrow \left( \mu _{f},\nu _{f}\right) $$\end{document} then fk -> f\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k}\rightarrow f$$\end{document} up to translations.
