Ravi Zacharias


Frederick Antony Ravi Kumar Zacharias was born in India in 1946 and immigrated to Canada with his family twenty years later. While pursuing a career in business management, his interest in theology grew; subsequently, he pursued this study during his undergraduate education. He received his Masters of Divinity from Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois. Well-versed in the disciplines of comparative religions, cults, and philosophy, he held the chair of Evangelism and Contemporary Thought at Alliance Theological Seminary for three and a half years.

He has multiple other doctorates and degrees from a variety of colleges and seminaries.

For 35 years Ravi Zacharias has spoken all over the world and in numerous universities, notably Harvard, Princeton, and Oxford University. He has addressed writers of the peace accord in South Africa, the president's cabinet and parliament in Peru, and military officers at the Lenin Military Academy and the Center for Geopolitical Strategy in Moscow. At the invitation of the President of Nigeria, he addressed delegates at the First Annual Prayer Breakfast for African Leaders held in Mozambique.

Dr. Zacharias has direct contact with key leaders, senators, congressmen, and governors who consult him on an ongoing basis. He has addressed the Florida Legislature and the Governor’s Prayer Breakfast in Texas, and has twice spoken at the Annual Prayer Breakfast at the United Nations in New York, which marks the beginning of the UN General Assembly each year. As the 2008 Honorary Chairman of the National Day of Prayer, he gave addresses at the White House, the Pentagon, and The Cannon House.

Commentator Chuck Colson referred to Zacharias as "the great apologist of our time."

neither goodness nor love alone is the goal. It is reverence, and it must be chosen even when it is hard and costly. This kind of love is a choice to let the sanctity of life dictate the commitment of the will. This kind of reverential love can look upon suffering and see it beyond the clutches of time and through the victory of eternity.

Religions that attempt to keep the body sacred while denying the Creator’s hand are in the same boat as skeptics who try to protect life while saying it is nothing more than matter.

Listen to this incredible explanation by one of atheism’s champions, Richard Dawkins, of Oxford: In a universe of blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won’t find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at the bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no other good. Nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. DNA neither knows nor cares. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.5

But here, Christianity provides a counterchallenge to remind them that they have not escaped the problem of contradiction. If evil exists, then one must assume that good exists in order to know the difference. If good exists, one must assume that a moral law exists by which to measure good and evil. But if a moral law exists, must not one posit an ultimate source of moral law, or at least an objective basis for a moral law? By an objective basis, I mean something that is transcendingly true at all times, regardless of whether I believe it or not. This argument is very compelling and must be given due consideration by anyone who denies the existence of God but accepts the presence of evil.

Hay una manera mejor de pensar acerca de nuestras mentes: la Biblia nos manda a renovar nuestras mentes para pensar como Él piensa, no quitarlas quirúrgicamente (Romanos 12.1-2). Anímese al pensar que la Biblia está llena de personas que pensaban fuertemente. Algunos hasta debatieron con Dios, pero no les cayó un rayo encima, ni fueron castigados de otra manera: • Moisés se preguntó si Dios había tomado la decisión correcta al enviarlo a liberar los israelitas esclavos en Egipto (Éxodo 3.11). • Habacuc miró al mal descontrolado y al sufrimiento del mundo y le gritó a Dios: «¿Hasta cuándo?» (Habacuc 1.2). • Natanael abiertamente expresó su cansada opinión de las raíces de Jesús (Juan 1.46). • A Tomás le permitieron ver y tocar las heridas de Cristo para creer que había resucitado de los muertos (Juan 20.24-29). • Los habitantes de Berea dedicaron tiempo para probar con las Escrituras hasta la enseñanza del apóstol Pablo (Hechos 17.11). • No somos suficientemente inteligentes. Eso es absolutamente falso. Me doy cuenta de que todos estamos creados con diferentes habilidades. Pero no tenga miedo del material que parece estar muy por encima de su entendimiento. ¡Usted sí tiene la habilidad de luchar en él! No diga: «Esto es demasiado duro para mí».

What, then, is the starting point? Since the crux of the problem is first and foremost moral questioning, how can there be moral justification for evil? An analogy from C. S. Lewis may be of help. He reminded us that when a ship is on the high seas, at least three questions must be answered. Question number one, How do we keep the ship from sinking? Number two, How do we keep it from bumping into other ships? These two may be obvious but behind them lurks the most important one, number three, Why is the ship out there in the first place? The first of the questions deals with personal ethics. The second addresses social ethics. The third one wrestles with normative ethics. Our

As much as that retrospective look troubles us, however, it makes for a fascinating confirmation that without God, the thing never would have happened.

He came softly, unobserved, and yet, strange to say, everyone recognized Him. . . . The people are irresistibly drawn to Him, they surround Him, they flock about Him, follow Him. The sun of love burns in His heart, light and power shine from His eyes, and their radiance, shed on people, stirs their hearts with responsive love.
