A defender of traditional evangelicalism,〔(Westmont University website. )〕〔(''Enrichment Journal''. )〕〔(Apologetics315.com website. )〕 Zacharias is the author of numerous Christian books, including the Gold Medallion Book Award winner ''Can Man Live Without God?'' in the category "theology and doctrine" and bestsellers ''Light in the Shadow of Jihad'' and ''The Grand Weaver''. He is the founder and chairman of the board of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, host of the radio programs ''Let My People Think'' and ''Just Thinking'', and has been a visiting scholar at Ridley Hall, where he studied moralist philosophers and literature of the Romantic era, and has had six honorary doctoral degrees, including a Doctor of Laws and a Doctor of Sacred Theology. Zacharias held the chair in Evangelism and Contemporary Thought at Alliance Theological Seminary from 1981 to 1984.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date = 2008-04-30 )〕 Evangelical Christian leader Chuck Colson referred to Zacharias as "the great apologist of our time." Zacharias is considered to be a leading figure of the evangelical intelligentsia movement.
==Early life==
Zacharias was born in Madras, India. He claims descent from a woman of the Nambudiri Brahmin caste and a Christian man of the Boatman caste. His mother was from Madras while his father was from Kerala. He grew up in Delhi. According to Zacharias, before her marriage, Swiss German missionaries had spoken to his Brahmin ancestor about Christianity and she had converted and had been made an outcast by her Brahmin family and community. Zacharias grew up in a nominal Anglican household,〔 and says that he was an atheist until the age of 17 when he tried to commit suicide by swallowing poison. While in the hospital, a local Christian worker brought him a Bible and told his mother to read to him from John 14. Zacharias says that it was (John 14:19 ) that touched him and meant to him as the defining paradigm: "Because I live, you also will live." He said that he thought, "This may be my only hope: A new way of living. Life as defined by the Author of Life." and that he committed his life to Christ praying, "Jesus if You are the one who gives life as it is meant to be, I want it. Please get me out of this hospital bed well, and I promise I will leave no stone unturned in my pursuit of truth."〔 In 1966 Zacharias emigrated with his family to Canada, earning his undergraduate degree from the Ontario Bible College in 1972 (now Tyndale University College & Seminary) and his M.Div. from Trinity International University.
