Christian Education, Digitalization and Defense of Christian Values.
This paper aims to analyze the apologetic methodology of Ravi Zacharias that he uses in defending the Christian faith in academic, university and political environments. This paper consists of four parts. In the first part, we will present some biographical data of the man who is considered one of the most famous evangelical apologists of our time, writer and speaker in many renowned universities, such as Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge, but also in other parts of the world. In the second part of the paper, we will analyze the tests that the apologist employs to prove whether a worldview and life is authentic or false. In the third part, we will examine the atheistic worldview, and finally we will present how Ravi Zacharias treats the problem of evil and suffering in the world from a Christian perspective.
