Favorite living Christian thinkers

[Battista Minola 1616]

The only options I see in the poll I have even heard about are Alistair MacIntyre, Tim Keller, Desmond Tutu and Russell Moore.
I guess Desmond Tutu among them?

My actual answer is probably Pope Francis, Robert Barron, James Martin, Nathan and Scott.

Keller is one of a handful of decidedly conservative thinkers who I have serious respect for - his nuanced approach is admirable, not just respectable. Moore, I think, is just respectable.

I’ve never been a big fan of James Martin - he still refuses to say whether or not he really does disagree with the Vatican about LGBT issues.

I have never read anything from Tim Keller and I have only read from Russell Moore in an interview.

With regards to Martin, as far as I have read it I have found the America magazine enjoyable including pieces written by its founder.

Voted for Alasdair MacIntyre, John Lennox, William Lane Craig, and Bishop Barron. Probably should have voted for Alvin Plantinga also but somehow missed him.

I missed that Bishop Barron was on the list. I like him but I'm not crazy about the heavy apologetics focus in current American Catholic thought in general. I'm interested in reading his book of Vatican II commentary and seeing what I make of it.

I am pretty sure Barron was not originally included in the poll and was only added after I named him. Unfortunately it looks like we can't change our poll answers.
