Christianity Today International 50th Anniversary – The Top 25 Most Influential Preachers
The Top 25 Most Influential Preachers
The top 10, plus 15 honorable mentions, selected by the staff of PreachingToday.com
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Christianity Today International has selected the “25 Most Influential Preachers of the Past 50 Years.”
This list recognizes and honors the most-influential preachers of the period from 1956 to 2006. The chief criteria in choosing the preachers were the following: evangelical theology; outstanding preaching skills; great influence, particularly through preaching. Thus, the list does not attempt to name the best preachers or the best-known preachers, but the most-influential preachers—evangelical preachers who have significantly affected many others through their preaching.
The names were nominated by respected specialists in preaching. That list was then reviewed and refined by Craig Brian Larson, editor of PreachingToday.com and Preaching Today Audio Series. He is, with Haddon Robinson, general editor of The Art & Craft of Biblical Preaching (Zondervan, 2005).
