McDowell's name may be familiar to you because he is the son of Josh McDowell, author of "Evidence That Demands a Verdict."   He has become somewhat of an academic in the same field as that of his father and has held the position of assistant professor in Apologetics and Worldview Studies in Biola University, having obtained a doctorate in the same field and an M.A. in Theology, preceded by a B.A., all with summa cum laude distinction.   These would be his academic credentials, which are not the only matters we look to in Christian studies and spirituality, but in the field of apologetics, they are often hugely helpful, since opposing views often come from academic sources and familiarity with them does not hurt!
