Mr. Zacharias has been honored by the conferring of three doctoral degrees.

Ravi has been a visiting scholar at Cambridge University where he studied moralist philosophers and literature of the Romantic era. He has authored or edited over twenty books including A Shattered Visage: The Real Face of Atheism, Can Man Live Without God, which was awarded the Gold Medallion for best book in the category of doctrine and theology, The End of Reason: A Response to the New Atheists, Why Jesus, and Has Christianity Failed You?
