vangelist Josh enjoys his battles

Biblical prophecies from thousands of years ago are being
fulfilled everyday, Christian evangelist Josh McDowell told an
overflowing crowd in Rudder Auditorium Monday. It was the
second of his three-part lecture series on campus.

Travelling from university to uni
versity, evangelist Josh McDowell
said he feels like Patton when he
looked out over the battlefield. Envi
sioning what battles lay before him,
the general said, “Oh God, I love
it.”
“And that’s the way I feel. Oh
God, I love it—seeing people’s lives
change, people challenged to consid
er things that they’ve never consi
dered before,” said McDowell,
whose ministries with Campus Cru
sade for Christ have taken him to 570
universities and 58 countries in the
last 10 years.
His lecture on “Maximum Sex”
tonight in Rudder auditorium at 8
p.m. will mark the end of his three-
part lecture series at Texas A&M
University and the completion of his
most recent 11-day tour. McDowell
lectured at a conference in Denver
and at Lousiana State University and
the University of Houston before
coming to College Station.
In an interview Monday, the mag-
na cum laude graduate said he feels
most comfortable with university
student audiences because it was in a
| university that he first struggled
seeking the truth to questions such
as “Who am I?,” and “Where am I
going?”
“It was in that context that I was
searching for truth and I think it’s the
context most people are searching
for truth,” he said.
“I like the give and take (at univer
sities). I think it’s where I can appeal
to people’s minds and not be out of
character because I find Christianity
is a very intelligent faith, a very ra
tional faith,” McDowell said.
Sunday night in a lecture titled
“The Resurrection Hoax” the former
law student shared with the 1,500-
member audience how several years
ago his attempt to refute both the
Christian faith and the resurrection
of the body of Jesus Christ backfired
on him.
McDowell said he became a
Christian as a result of the findings of
those two years of research which
have been documented in one of his
six best-seller books.
Monday night to an even larger
crowd which packed Rudder au
ditorium to capacity, McDowell
again made an appeal to the intellect
of those present. Addressing the
topic of prophecy, he repeatedly re
ferred to current events, particularly
in the Middle East, as fulfillment of
biblical prophecies over thousands of
years old.
The last of his lectures, “Max
imum Sex,” or as he said Sunday, “Is
Love Still Possible in a Junkie
World,” will be presented tonight.
The content of his lectures
changes, but never the topics,
McDowell said because he believes
the resurrection is the intellectual
basis for Christianity, prophecy is
the hope and sex is the problem.
The evangelist’s tours usually take
him on the road two weeks at a time,
home for one week and on the road
for two more — creating both a
tremendous physical and financial
strain on him, he said.
McDowell has been on the road
with his ministry for 17 years now,
and during that time he said he has
seen the attitude of students change
from activism to apathy, from fulfill
ment to emptiness.

so much more than other universi
ties,” McDowell said, noting parti-
cually the traditions of the Universi
ty which he said he believes develop
character and self esteem.
But aside from that, most universi
ties are the same, the lecturer said.
University students today are
lonely for the most part, very iso
lated, he said.
“Probably some of the loneliest
people in the world are in the univer
sities,” he said. “Most people are
bored with themselves.”
They feel there aren’t any causes.
And on top of that, he said they are
discouraged with our government
and society as a whole. Students no
longer feel there are any answers
anymore, McDowell said.
