About David:

 David Wood is a Teaching Fellow in Philosophy. A former atheist, David converted to Christianity after examining the evidence for God’s existence and the historical evidence for Jesus’ resurrection. He has degrees in biology and philosophy and is a member of the Society of Christian Philosophers and the Evangelical Philosophical Society. David lives in the Bronx, NY, with his wife Marie and his three sons—Lucian, Blaise, and Reid.

This is interesting:

David Wood is a Teaching Fellow in Philosophy at Fordham University, where he teaches Philosophy of Human Nature and Philosophical Ethics. A former atheist, he became a Christian after investigating the historical evidence for Jesus’ resurrection. Due to a college friendship with a Muslim named Nabeel, David began an intensive study of Islam, and now reaches Muslims through Acts 17 Apologetics Ministries, which he codirects with his friend Nabeel (who is now a Christian).

Boy, is it great when God reaches out to these scholarly guys.

David is one of the brave Christians who was arrested by Dearborn for answering questions about Christianity asked by Muslims.
