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

Josh McDowell

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.
