Top Five Christians From History I Would Like to Meet

General History

Over at my main website, I’m doing a series of top five lists to celebrate my fiftieth birthday. I thought I would do one here as well.

I am interested in church history, obviously since I write this blog and podcast. There are certain people from church history that I would have loved to have met.

  4. William Wilberforce
  5. Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Who would you have liked to have met?
