Editorial note: The previous edition listed rzim.org (Ravi Zacharias International Ministries) and Section 51 drew on Zacharias's documented university encounters. RZIM dissolved in 2021 following confirmation of extensive sexual misconduct by Ravi Zacharias. That link has been removed. Section 51 has been removed from Revised v2 per author's decision — the content was theologically sound but the attribution could not be honored cleanly, and no load-bearing argument was lost in the removal.
