Mine would be D.A. Carson and John Piper. Extending it a bit I would include David Wells, Gordon Fee, and Douglas Moo. J.I. Packer. David Jeremiah. Oh….and F.F. Bruce, Andreas Köstenberger, and David Allen. And Tim Keller, sometimes. Joel Beeke....if only he would stop using "thee and thou".

Well....I don't want to be labeled a heretic again for appreciating NT Wright....not this early in the post Laugh
I do like reading NT Wright. Whistling and Karl Barth. Oh....and Gerald Bray....and Paul Helm....
To counter Wright and Barth, however, I also like the preaching of John MacArthur. Thumbsup

John Bunyan, George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, George Mueller, John W. Burgeon, E.W. Bullinger, Clarence Larkin and our faithful Anabaptist forefathers who suffered, bled, or died for Christ throughout the ages of church history.
More recently; Dr. Henry Morris, Dave Hunt, Ian R.K. Paisley, Dr. Joseph L. Henson.
I have not chosen any living man in this category for almost all those I once looked up to have greatly disappointed me in this age of compromise, ecumenism, and heresy.
Books I learned a great deal from though I didn't agree with their theology on some points: The Feasts of the Lord by Marv Rosenthal. The Bible, the Jew, & the Supernatural by McAndlish Phillips, journalist of the New York Times. The King James Version Defended by E.F. Hills (not King James Only!). The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow by attorney Constance Cumby. The Sovereignty of God by A.W. Pink. Beyond Seduction by Dave Hunt. Daniel by John Walvoord. A Poor Man and a Tinker (about Bunyan) by Christopher Hill. The Works of Jonathan Edwards by Banner of Truth Publications.

I listen to the teachings of several pastors each week. I listen while I ride my recumbent bike. One is Dr. Dane Aacker a SBC pastor of a very large southern California church ( not Warren, as I see him as a snake oil drummer). The second is Kyle Idleman a pastor and teacher at Southeastern Christian in Ky. The third is Jimmy Swaggart and associates. The fourth is Raul Ries and associates at Golden Springs Calvary Chapel.
Some of you may question my choices, however, these guys give me a very good variety of teaching and insight to His word. I consider myself well balanced, and more importantly, I am blessed, and lifted, which is what it should be about.
Great topic.

I might put it like this: I am where I am theologically because of the following influences
John Piper (Preaching and theology)
Jonathan Edwards (theology)
John MacArthur (the gospel)
G. K. Beale (biblical theology, NT use of the OT, and Revelation)
N. T. Wright (NT and biblical theology)
Christopher J. H. Wright (biblical theology & OT)
Cornelius Van Til (apologetics and theology)
John Sailhamer (Pentateuch, biblical theology, and protology)
Of course there are more, but these stick out in my mind as influencing me the most.
