Well, I’m running out of theologians to compare to celebs. So this is likely the final cut. Some of these theologians or celebs might be rather obscure to our broad base of readers, so I’ll include a bit of context on both.
How’s about…
Jesus Seminar scholar and mystic, Marcus Borg
and the late Richard Harris who last appeared
as Prof. Dumbledor from the first two Harry Potter films.
Usually a beard makes any two guys look more alike
but these guys appear to be quite similar, beard or not.
Darwin’s Black Box author, Michael Behe
and Sideways and Lady in the Water actor, Paul Giamatti
Here we have a talented, brilliant, conservative Brit
who looks like a talented, foolish, liberal American.
Otherwise known as:
philosopher Roger Scruton and
actor/activist Robert Redford
And now for my personal favorite
Christian philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff
and popcorn popularizer Orville Redenbacher
It was hard matching this philosopher/theologian with a celebrity
but I think I found a worthy visual comparison…
Immanuel Kant and Gollum.
Wow. Kant and Gollum evoke similar feelings for me, as well.
