I’m finding a lot of popular/ non-academic publications and almost nothing in the more serious journals. I’ve found nothing in your list that compares with Barth, Heartshorn, Baultmann, or Whitehead.
As far as C.S. Lewis goes he was a professor of Literature and not a theologian/philosopher. His stuff is nice but not exactly academic. Moreover he states that Hell is locked from the inside. This is hardly in line with Conservative thought.

Huh?
C.S. Lewis is definitely academic! You dont get to be an Oxford Don without having something academic about you. As far as what he was professor of, he could still be a theologian/philosopher also. Anybody who thinks about God is a theologian, and anybody who thinks outside of where their next six-pack is coming from is a philosopher. Shouldnt be so stuck on official academia certification.
There are quite a few Christian theologian/philosophers who have been widely published. D James Kennedy is one of them, and if you like Degrees, he has more than an oven thermometer.
Ravi Zacharias is another one. Look on the link below for more. Due to the anti-christian bias in our popular culture, you will have to go to a specifically Christian source for what you are looking for.

F.F. Bruce
Douglas Moo
Thomas Long
William P. Brown.
I can make you a list of about 25-50 if you wish!!
Update:
Well Baultman is not a conservative theologian either. But F.F. Bruce is very much published in all the conservation theological biblical journals.

Sure, there are quite a few.
How widely published someone's writings are have no bearing of any kind on the quality, veracity, or reasonableness of those writings, though.
Since there are (supposedly) over 200 million christians in the US, and they enjoy writings that reinforce their unreasonable beliefs more than writings that show evidence *against* those unreasonable beliefs, it's logical that books or articles written to pander to that audience will sell well in the US.
Then again, Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" has sold several million copies in the US...so perhaps there's hope for us yet :)
