Historically, who tends to have more influence on the practice and theology of a

religion:? philosophers or kings?
Jim: concerning Christianity...sure Henry...what about Constantine, Charlemagne, Theodoric,King James,etc.

Theologians that had any real effect on christianity? I can think of Martin luther, Zwingili, Boethius...thats about it. Aquaintus and Augistine had interesting things to say but didnt change anything about the actual practice and core ideas.
