Editor’s Note: The following article was published before the devastating findings from the investigation into accusations of sexting, unwanted touching, spiritual abuse and rape by perhaps the foremost Christian apologist of his time, Ravi Zacharias.

Why Jesus?
Rediscovering His Truth in an Age of Mass Marketed Spirituality

By Ravi Zacharias (Faith Words)

“True spirituality is not a game we play. It is not merely a preference for some position over another. Nor is it at its core a search for some healing balm. It is an ultimate choice of ultimate definitions that require one’s utmost commitment. One had dare not make a commitment to a belief for secondary or tertiary reasons or to ‘feel good.’ The issues of gender and sexuality are extremely important. … I understand how important they are. But they are secondary to why we are living and for whom we are living. To be driven to adopt a combination of myth and mysticism because of blunders made by cultural exploiters in society is to run from the arms of a lion into the arms of a bear. There is little comfort in that.“ —Ravi Zacharias, from the book
