Since "bassbum" posted a really good question on books, I thought I'd ask one about the well-known authors R.J. Rushdoony, Greg Bahnsen, and Cornelius Van Til. Never having read much by them, I was wondering: were these guys influenced by each other, and did they know each other? Or were they independent of each other in their thought?

I was just wondering if there was an inter-relationship among them something like the one with C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the "Inklings".
