Top 10 Theology Stories of 2025- Deaths of Christian religious leaders

Death of John MacArthur and other renowned Bible teachers leaves leadership void.For at least 30 years, if you studied the Bible on your own or in a small group, you had a good chance of finding help from John MacArthur or Kay Arthur, both of whom died in 2025.MacArthur’s expository sermons laid the groundwork for the growth of Reformed theology around the world, while Arthur inspired younger generations of women to engage in serious inductive Bible study. Their published and spoken words will continue to form Christians studying the unchanging, ever-dynamic Word. But MacArthur’s longtime leadership of Shepherds Conference, Grace Community Church, The Master’s University, and The Master’s Seminary leaves a gaping institutional void.Voddie Baucham, who often collaborated with MacArthur, died unexpectedly in 2025 at only 56 years old. Another stalwart leader in the Religious Right, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, died this year at 89 years old.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.
