More like theology! It's better than philosophy anyway.
My actual purpose is to say:
Do you know any good christian philosophers or theologians?

How about C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien!
Yeah!

Yeah, last year I wanted to be a psychologist; this year I want to be a theologist.

Growing up in the missions field with parents who are missionaries kinda inspired that...

But yeah, did you know that Tolkein and Lewis were acctually friends/corespondents?

I never mentioned of such.
However, both of ya' need to keep ya'
Egos in check,
or I'll do it for ya.

Let us be together in God's grace,
Where such things are of no importance.

C.S Lewis

"Religious experience" in the narrower sense comes and goes: especially goes. The operation of faith is to retain, so far as the will and intellect are concerned, what is irresistable and obvious during the moments of special grace. By Faith we believe we believe always what we hope hereafter to see always and perfectly and have already seen imperfectly and by flashes.
