Outside of the Bible, who are the 10 most impactful figures in Christianity? This is the question I put to Deacon Harrison Garlick, and the list he compiled in response might surprise you.
What we discuss in today’s podcast is not a list of the most important figures in Church history outside of the Bible, but rather a list of the most influential ones. It doesn’t mean that each person on the list was flawless in everything they proclaimed, but that their life and their writings left a major impact on the development of the Christian faith and the institutional Church.
Dcn. Garlick is one of my favorite commentators on X and is the host of Ascend: The Great Books Podcast. He is also the author of the rapidly growing theology Substack, The Ascent. You can read one of his recent articles below:
