Who’s on your Mount Rushmore of Theologians? Bob Turner visits with HST Alumnus and Harding University professor Mac Sandlin about Mac’s Mount Rushmore of Theologians.

This conversation flows from the most recent issue of Footnotes where Bob shares the answer to this question from a number of scholars. Footnotes is Bob Turner’s newsletter of curated resources for ministers. Subscribe to Footnotes.

Mac’s Mount Rushmore includes Athanasius, Augustine, Aquinas, and Calvin. The discussion on the video wrestles with the ideas of theologians “who have been most influential in the world” vs. “those who have been most influential in my life.”
