On the evening of February 22nd, Biola had the opportunity to host An Evening with Ravi Zacharias and Dennis Prager in partnership with Hashtag Productions and Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. Over 2,400 guests from across the country filled Chase Gymnasium and the live-stream satellite site in Crowell Auditorium. Over 4,000 more viewers streamed the event online.
Throughout the evening, world-renowned Christian apologist, Ravi Zacharias, and Dennis Prager, a nationally syndicated radio show host, dialogued about the difficulty of intentionally honoring God in our highly secularized Western culture. The discussion was intermediated by Frank Sontag of Los Angeles’ KKLA 99.5 FM and a question and answer time followed. Q&A was facilitated by Craig Hazen, Founder and Director of the M.A. Program in Christian Apologetics at Biola, with questions taken from the floor and from Twitter/text-in submissions.
Immediately following the event, Zacharias and Prager were present for a book signing at the Fireplace Pavillion, giving the members of the audience an opportunity for a brief meet and greet and chance to get their books signed.
