We are starting a class on church history, and these would be great. I’m a big fan of C.S. Lewis. I hope the drawing is still open.
Calvin. (I know – not that original). I read through the Institutes and was extremely impressed. Noted that Calvin out of ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ was named after John Calvin (a slight misunderstanding of ‘total depravity’ juxtaposed with the philosophical Hobbes). We decided to name our first son Calvin after John Calvin. We were told to terminate him from 14 weeks onwards but we refused to listen to the doctors. Instead, we trusted God and prayed – and we were given a healthy boy! Despite being Autistic, Calvin (now 8) is a wonderful boy who reminds us, as John Calvin does, as to how important a thing God did through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus in our place.
While many may find themselves disagreeing with John Calvin, they too often owe their very theology to the challenges he posed and the thoughts that he had preached and printed.
I only wish the Arius card mentioned that he was punched in the face by Santa Clause at the Council of Nicea.
That alone puts St. Nick in my top 25.
I would have to say it is John Calvin.
So many to choose from, but the one that comes to mind is Martin Luther!
John Owen, the Prince of Puritans. His works on hamartiology and Christology were very helpful to me.
I will say David Zahl.
These would go great on my trading card blog, too!
