Favorite Christian Apologists (those who practice Apologetics). Living on Earth or truly LIVING in heaven… I’ll start.

Voddie Baucham
RC Sproul
Charles Spurgeon
James White
Paul Washer
Timothy Keller
Francis Schaefer
And of course, the late great John Calvin

Note I have some doctrinal differences with all of these men, because they are just men and none are God nor received verbal-plenary inspiration because the Canon is closed.

And … go

    Josh McDowell, who’s been my apologetics hero for some 4.5 decades. Got to spend 10 days with him and 138 other people last Fall on a Biblelands Cruise (see pic). He was our featured speaker. Brilliant, eccentric (he designed that shirt and had a friend tailor it), and quite personable. C.S. Lewis, Geisler, Zacharias, and a dozen others would come in a close second. I also love Creation Science and all those involved in that.
