Thinkers Who have Influenced Me

There are so many books that have influenced my life that I’m not sure I can reduce the list to just 10 titles. So I offer a list of thinkers who have had the most impact on my development as a Christian thinker (in no particular order).

Greg Bahnsen, Cornelius Van Til, Carl F. H. Henry, Nancy Pearcey, Francis Schaeffer, John Frame, Abraham Kuyper, D.A. Carson, Dorothy Sayers, Roy Clouser, Albert Wolters

Okay, that’s 11. Isn’t it interesting what you can learn about who a person considers a positive and prominent influence in their life? I only wish more women could be included in this list.
