    He may well have been. I will leave that up to the Lord.

    Apparently we all live in between 1920 and 1960...none of these are "best-known" nor are they apologists of our time.

    Always good to come to your conclusion without citing evidence. This is a disappointing point. I'm no great fan of Lewis or Muggeridge (frankly I think the only person citing him anymore is Ravi Zacharias who is still using lectures from the 1980s.) I can honestly say I've never read Adler either.

    One additional point and I'll be done: keep in mind none of these individuals cited would be considered evangelical today.

    Lewis - Anglican
    Chesterton - Roman Catholic (later Anglican)
    Muggeridge - Anglican
    Adler - Jewish, then Roman Catholic

    That said, I am curious what the OP thinks about the present day apologists, and not these old dinosaurs, such as:
    William Lane Craig
    Ravi Zacharias
    JP Moreland
    John Warwick Montegomery

    If the OP is familiar with them.

    I wonder what the writer of the OP thinks of:

    Francis Schaeffer
    Dietrich Bonhoeffer
    Karl Barth
    F.F. Bruce
    Carl Henry
    E. Stanley Jones
    Jurgen Moltmann

    just to name a few.
