Actually, the caveat is "Reformed." Due to some of Wilson and Piper's views, one might place them outside of that label.
I would put Sproul in that camp as well. They're both gateway dru... I mean ministers.
If we're referring to most influential Reformed authors, then the list would be a little different than the authors I think are the most confessionally Reformed and influential etc. In terms of who simply are the most influential under the broad designation Reformed in the Reformed world, I would say these five:
- John Frame
- R.C. Sproul
- Michael Horton
- John Piper (if we consider him Reformed in some sense)
- Tim Keller
ooh forgot about Keller. He may be most popular overall in just terms of books sales. It's funny how the majority of evangelicalism would view him as conservative, but reformed groups tend to see him as liberal.
Top Ten in the reformed camp - who ya got? Go!

6. Presuppositionalism v. Evidentialism
7. R.J. Rushdoony (Theonomy)
8. Greg Bahnsen (Theonomy again.)
9. Pot?
10. Rat brains (I ran out of material at #9, obviously.)
I honestly can't stand reading Piper. It is something about his style. I can only read 40 or so pages before I just put it away.

I'm with you! I never finished Let the Nations Be Glad. Reading Piper can be like (there are exceptions) watching someone chew a nice, big, juicy steak that you really would like to enjoy for yourself. He tends to repeat himself and look at things from every possible angle. Thankfully, his preaching is not like that!
I think everyone's named all the people in my list! Don't forget blogs though...what would the Young, Restless, and Reformed movement be without the internet?!
