"Famed apologist Ravi Zacharias has spent the past few weeks embroiled in a complex scandal in which he has had to defend himself from both accusations of inappropriate online conduct with a woman and questions about the authenticity of his credentials."

On August 22, 2018, Mr. Zacharias was forced to admit that he had never been a professor at Oxford.
For years Mr. Zacharias claimed to be “an official lecturer” at Oxford. In September of 2016, the University of Oxford stated in writing that Mr. Zacharias has never been an employee of the University.
For years Mr. Zacharias claimed in his author bios to be “Cambridge educated.” In August of 2018 Mr. Zacharias admitted that he had never enrolled at the University of Cambridge. He based his “Cambridge educated” claim on merely having observed lectures at the University of Cambridge for 2 – 3 months in 1990, when he was in his mid-40s.
For years Mr. Zacharias has claimed that he studied “quantum physics” at the University of Cambridge under the renowned physicist, Dr. John Polkinghorne. The University, however, has confirmed that Dr. Polkinghorne only taught Buddhism and The Science/Religion Dialogue during the term Mr. Zacharias attended lectures at the University. Mr. Zacharias observed science/religion dialogue lectures and converted this to the claim that he studied quantum physics “under” Dr. Polkinghorne, a claim he makes widely in his public lectures."
