List at least 3 of your favorite pastor/teacher/theologians from yesteryear. (do not include writers/teachers in the bible itself)
Why do I ask? It helps us to get a rough idea where each is coming from.

Mine are in no particular order...
Martyn Lloyd Jones
Martin Luther (not King)
Charles Spurgeon.

3. Augustine of Hippo

Oh, and A.W. Tozer. I've heard he's very good. Maybe a bit of Dietrich Bonhoeffer too.

My beef with Bonhoeffer has to do with his best quality: i.e. his courage. Brilliant man willing to stand up for good when it was arguably most difficult.

That said, not a great theologian. However, I have only read things about him, not his actual work.

Ritter, true, maybe he wasn't a great theologian but he was a great man of God.

I'm rather surprised you do not have Pope St. Pius X listed. My monk friend can't get enough of him.

I kid you not. My best friend is in training to be a Catholic monk.

I assume by yesteryyear you mean those who are dead.


Leonard Ravenhill is the only one I have had much encounter with. I am so glad he was one of the first preachers I listened to when beginning this whirlwind of adventure. I have a good impression of A. W. Pink. I have barely any familiarity with Spurgeon, but I like what I've seen.

Of the living:
Paul Washer
James White
Alistair Begg
Ravi Zacharias
John Piper
Albert Mohler Jr. (President of Southern Seminary)

I hope to learn more about J. C. Ryle.
