When I claimed that most people, including evangelicals, had never heard of Ted Haggard, my critics scoffed. But a new Barna survey finds that “major Christian leaders are widely unknown, even among Christians." Three of out every four adults (72%) say they have never heard of Saddleback Pastor Rick Warren, including two out of every three born again Christians (63%). Almost six out of every ten adults (57%) said they had never heard of Dr. James Dobson; nearly half of all born again Christians said they did not know who he was. The results find that even fewer people have heard of T.D. Jakes, Tim LaHaye, or Joel Osteen.

I had never heard of Ted Haggard until the news broke. T.D. Jakes I only know because of his participation on a Kirk Franklin CD that I have, and Joel Osteen I don't have any idea except that a book of his inspired a strange board game and I have a feeling he's somewhere in Texas....
Warren, Dobsen, and LaHaye are authors I do know from their books.
