The Most Influential People in American Christianity
Here's a starter list of the Most Influential People in what we might call American Christianity, in the evangelical sense, for lack of a better term. They're the ones whose thinking has had the most impact on the way we actually live.
Nobody agrees with lists -- please make your own -- but here's mine:
1) Paul
2) Martin Luther
3) Bill Bright/Billy Graham (tie)
4) John Calvin
5) Jonathan Edwards
7) Bill Hybels
8) James Dobson
9) Tim LaHaye and That Other Guy
10) (tie) Jesus of Nazareth/John Wesley
