How Many Times Is Someone Cited In A Book

It has been an ongoing curiosity of mine to organize lists of scholars listed in academically oriented books.

I will list the most frequently cited people in just a few of my books. Feel free to do the same with some of your books.

I'm doing it the old-fashioned way.

 

Constantine Tischendorf : The Life And Work Of A 19th Century Bible Hunter by Stanley E. Porter.
It's 190 pages. What a godly man who worked tirelessly for the Lord and the Lord's people.

William Baird : 10 mentions

James Bently : 14
D. C. Parker : 16
C. Bottrich : 22

 

The Calvin Handbook edited by Herman J. Selderhuis. The book is 585 pages with 53 contributors.
I will include only the orthodox men of the past mentioned in the book.

J. Chrysostom : 15 mentions
P. Viret : 18
Zwingli : 30
Melanchthon : 33
Augustine : 34
Bullinger : 43

Okay, next on the docket is Robert Duncan Culver's Systematic Theology: Biblical And Historical.
The tome is 1,258 pages.

Twenty mentions is the minimum. I will start from the least to the greatest number of mentions.
20 : John Murray
23 : Thomas Aquinas
23 : John Wesley
23 : James Oliver Buswell
26 : John Gill
29 : Emil Brunner
33 : W.G.T. Shedd
37 : Karl Barth
41 : Charles A. Hodge
52 : Martin Luther
63 : Augustine
69 : A.H. Strong
125 : John Calvin

 

And then we have Robert L. Reymond's A New Systematic Theology Of The Christian Faith.

Gordon Clark, Robert Lewis Dabney, Martin Luther and Origen are percolating under my top 14.
Here are the leaders in terms of mentions. By mentions I mean quotes and Dr. Reymond's interactions with their ideas.

20 J. Oliver Buswell Jr.
21 Clark H. Pinnock
24 James I. Packer
25 John M. Frame
27 Leon Morris
28 Augustine
28 G. C. Berkouwer
35 George E. Ladd
40 Charles Hodge
52 Geerhardus Vos
63 Louis Berkhof
64 John Calvin
100 B.B.Warfield
160 John Murray

 

So of the two systematics, the names of Calvin, Augustine, Luther, Hodge, Murray and Buswell are in the top spots in both lists.
