Josh McDowell (b. 1939) — Apologet, Bestsellerautor, Referent · evangelikal · USA

Josh McDowell (* 1939) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Apologet, Autor und Referent, der seit den 1960er-Jahren durch seinen Dienst bei Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) weltweit tätig ist. Er steht für eine faktenorientierte Verteidigung des christlichen Glaubens sowie der Historizität der Bibel, die er in Bestsellern wie „Evidence That Demands a Verdict“ und „More Than a Carpenter“ darlegte. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet er leicht verständliche Argumentationshilfen für Glaubensgespräche, wenngleich seine Methodik mitunter als vereinfachend gilt und abwertende Äußerungen über Minderheiten im Jahr 2021 öffentliche Kritik auslösten.

For me, Christianity was not a blind leap into darkness, but rather a step into the light.
Josh McDowell

The Christian faith is faith in Christ. Its value lies not in the one who believes, but in the one who is believed in; not in the one who trusts, but in the one who is trusted.
Josh McDowell

Religion is the human attempt to work one's way to God through good deeds.
Josh McDowell

You can laugh at Christianity; you can mock and ridicule it. But it works. It changes lives. If you trust Christ, start watching your attitudes and actions, because Jesus Christ is in the business of changing lives.
Josh McDowell

Since Jesus regarded the Old Testament as the word of God (Mt 15:1-4; 6:17-18) and promised his disciples, who either wrote or influenced the books of the New Testament, that the Holy Spirit would bring all things back to their remembrance (Jn 14:26), we can insist with sound and rigorous logic that the Bible is God's word.
