I would second Martyn Lloyd-Jones and believe the term 'Prince of Preachers' is as fitting for him as it was for Spurgeon.
New Zealand has one very gifted preacher - Wally Behan. He moves in the Reformed Anglican tradition.

What about Paul Washer for the states?
I think no matter what the list we come out with, it will just be the tip of the iceberg. There are tons of preachers who are extremely gifted but don't have such a public platform. I'm sure we have some of those here on the PB.

I would add John MacArthur and Paul Washer... I may not agree with them on all but they are sure staunch gospel proclaimers!

I'm glad folks mentioned Al Martin, MacArthur, and Azurdia. Those were the three "more popular" names I was going to add as well.

Just so long as if you had a list of ONE, it consisted of Martyn Lloyd-Jones!
