The influence of theological texts and authors can be traced through time. Augustine’s work has greatly influenced Western theologians for centuries. Medieval theologian Peter Lombard’sFour Books of Sentences was so universally used and influential that it was liberally quoted not only by Aquinas and Bonaventure, but also by Reformers like Calvin and Luther. The Reformers’ texts helped shape the figures of 19th century Christianity in America, such as Charles Spurgeon and Dwight L. Moody who, in turn, were read by ministry leaders of the 20th century.
