David Wood in his natural habitat

David Wood is an American Christian polemicist and apologist, known for his critiques of Islam and debates with Muslim scholars. He co-founded the Acts 17 Apologetics ministry and has a significant presence on social media platforms, particularly YouTube, where he posts videos addressing theological and ideological differences between Christianity and Islam. In the earlier part of his inglorious career, he is often seen together with Hassamo Shamoun. They are no longer on talking terms.
Wood's approach is controversial, with many labeling him as an Islamophobe due to his direct and often provocative style. He frequently uses Islamic texts and historical sources to argue his points, though his interpretations are contested by many who believe they lack proper context and nuance.
His work has sparked significant discussions and has encouraged Christians and Muslims to engage more deeply with their respective faiths. However, he has been criticized for his methods, which some view as more inflammatory than constructive, advocating for a more respectful and scholarly approach to interfaith dialogue. Despite the controversy, Wood's efforts have garnered a large following, making him a notable figure in the realm of religious debate and Christian apologetics.
