The Ravi Zacharias Report

Ravi Zacharias was a renowned Christian apologist known by his many books, conferences, forums, and ministry---Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM). In 2017, Zacharias was accused of sexual misconduct and quickly buried those claims under a non-disclosure agreement. Following his death in May 2020, additional allegations were brought against Zacharias and an independent investigation into the sexual misconduct of Ravi Zacharias was conducted by Miller & Miller, PLLC, and released a report on their finding on February 9, 2021.  Christians may find it difficult to respond biblically to the Ravi Zacharias report. For many, he has been a long-standing and effective apologist for the truth of the gospel. Yet, this does not mean that discoveries of this kind should not be taken seriously. As Christians, we want to avoid the pitfalls of sinful and hurtful responses to this issue (1 John 3:18​, Proverbs 25:11). The Bible calls us to hate sin, but to also love others and have forgiving, merciful hearts (Rom. 12:9; James 2:13​). How can we balance these principles when we react to such allegations?
