I would like to see James White interviewed on the relationship between theology, evangelism and apologetics. That would be a GREAT interview! and I think it would be highly beneficial not only for people who agree with the particular theology White holds to, but generally, why we need to be up on our game in theological matters because it determines how we conduct our method and our behavior in apologetics and evangelism and the rest of life.
Alvin Plantinga
J. P. Holding
Victor Reppert
Have you heard the James White interview?
You interviewed David wood which was great I think we need more interviews with apologists who understand Islam. I would suggest Sam shamoun. Thanks take care.
1) David Marshall (author of "True Son of Heaven", "The Truth Behind the New Atheism", and "The Truth About Jesus and the 'Lost Gospels'")
2) John Warwick Montgomery
I may have mentioned it before Brian, but I'd love to hear you talk to Vinoth Ramachandra and Stanley Hawerwas.
Neither are specifically focused on apologetics but both have fascinating insights into social issues from a Christian perspective.
Also, David B. Hart would be an interesting man to have on your podcast. He is the author of a number of books including Atheist Delusions (winner of the Michael Ramsey prize in theology) and recently appeared on the Unbelievable? show in discussion with Terry Sanderson.
I'd also like to hear an interview with philosophers Ed Feser (on classical theism an Aquinas) and Victor Reppert (on the argument from reason), and with theologian David Hart (preferrably, an interview on his claim that naturalism is incoherent!). Some more recommendations would be John Haldane, Keith Ward, Peter van Inwagen, Brian Davies, Brian Leftow, Tim Mawson, Robin Collins and John Haught!
Eric, you might be interested in the discussion I mentioned:

Also, Brian, what about an interview with Denis Alexander, Director of the Faraday Institute?
I can only think of a few that I don't see on my itunes feed, but...
John Lennox
Ravi Zacharias
Mike Horton
Jennifer Roback Morse
Tim keller
RC Sproul
Greg Ganssle, author of Thinking about God: First Steps in Philosophy. Greg Koukl credits that book as being a style template for his book Tactics.
"Eric, you might be interested in the discussion I mentioned"
Hi Billy
I listened to that discussion, and it was Hart's remark about naturalism being incoherent that really interested me. That's why I suggested Brian give him some serious time to discuss that issue on his podcast. (Incidentally, I simply can't see how anyone could read, say, Dawkins and Harris on the one hand, and Hart on the other, and conclude that it's the theists who are uninformed, stupid, etc.)

There aren't many I can think of who you haven't interviewed! :)
I would suggest trying to get an interview with R.C. Sproul; that would be an interesting interview given Sproul's age, he has a lot of life experience.
Another suggestion would be John Warwick Montgomery.
Hello Brian,
I would like to hear an interview with:
1. Dallas Willard
2. John Mark Reynolds
3. Dave Sterrett
Thanks for the opportunity to suggest!
Godspeed
Nancey Pearcy would be a great person to interview. Her book "Total Truth" won the Gold Medallion Book Award and her new book "Saving Leonardo" is also excellent. You might get her to cover her time at Labri, worldview analysis, apologetics in a secular culture, etc. Thanks for all your hard work, Brian. You're blog has been a great resource for me and Broadview Baptist Church.
I agree with many of the names already mentioned: Greg Ganssle, Tim Keller, John Warwick Montgomery. Also, even though he is not an "apologist" or philosopher per se, Francis Chan.
Dr. Michael Brown for his book about the homosexual agenda
Tim Keller about Freedom and truth
...and Tim Challies because I read his blog as much as I read yours. both really great resources.
oh, and I'd like to hear you interview Chuck Missler from Khouse.org
Dale & Jonalyn Fincher
www.soulation.org
The Fincher's are a husband and wife team that run the ministry Soulation. In addition to being outstanding apologists, much of their ministry is dedicated to helping people become "appropriately human." A heavy focus on spiritual formation along with the tools of apologetics is something that is, unfortunately, uncommon and may be something that is unique and helpful to this community.
1. Michael Ramsden

3. Ravi Zacharias
4. Sam Shamoun
5. Barnabas Green
6. Sander Tanner

I would be interested in hearing an interview with Tawa Anderson. I've read a few of his articles here and I wouldn't mind hearing how he does apologetics in Canada.
C. Stephen Evans of Baylor University. His recent book is called Natural Signs and the Knowledge of God, subtitled a new look at theistic arguments. It's price tag is lofty, but of all the books I've read that touch on natural theology, it is easily the best (and I've read heavyweights of apologetics like John Lennox and William Lane Craig).
He epistemological views and realistic, and he writes thoughtfully and in a balanced manner. His proposal about the use of natural signs in theistic arguments is very much provocative and in some ways revolutionary, and he takes on the argument from divine hiddenness and reductive evolutionary explanations for belief along the way.
I would absolutely love to hear this guy interviewed.
One more suggestion. Dr. Michael L. Brown would be a great interview, he recently released a book called A queer thing happened to America. It would be a very interesting interview I think.
You could also consider Paul Chamberlain who heads up the only Seminary apologetics program in Canada, at Trinity Western University (Canada's largest Christian university). He also just released this excellent book which I recommend to you "Why People Don't Believe: Confronting Seven Challenges to Christian Faith" http://amzn.to/ohazUb . Here is an interview of him by Centered Radio discussing the book (I think you will agree he is a good interview) : http://bit.ly/o4oElx He has written other books as well.
Here is Paul Chamberlain's faculty page with email: http://bit.ly/oPzWAY
I know I already gave some suggestions, but I thought of one more others haven't mentioned. How about Dinesh D'Souza? That would be an interesting interview for sure. :)
Hello,
I think that an apologist that not many know would be Dr. Doug Blount from DTS. He is a student of Plantingas and very bright.
I'm just piggybacking on other people's comments here, but maybe it will help tip the scales:
Tim Keller
Ravi Zacharias
John Lennox
-Neil
Just to second names already mentioned...
Peter Hitchens
Michael Brown
And I'd actually like to hear a soft evangelist like Don Miller interviewed on how to communicate truth.
Actually I'd like to hear Wintery Knight interviewed, the man is feisty! Hopefully it can be done without ruining his anonymity...
Sean MacDowell -- for his apologetic work with high school kids -- we really need to focus on how to reach and teach our young ones.
Lots of great suggestions here! I want to echo:
Ravi Zacharias
Michael Ramsden
John Lennox
Alvin Plantinga
Michael Brown
But also want to add Jeff Zweerink (reasons.org). I'd like to hear him talk a bit about his perspective on the affect of multiverse theory on the arguments for God's existence.
And Michael Patton (credohouse.org). Perhaps discussing the importance of understanding proper biblical theology to defending the faith.
Timothy Tennet and Winfried Corduan would both be great interviews about apologetics and eastern religions.
Also have to say that I really enjoy the multi-part interviews and second interviews. Some of the apologists already interviewed have contributed so much that multiple interviews about the different topics certainly would be great.
Yes many names have already been mentioned. The top three that come to my mind are:
Ravi Zacharias
Tim Keller
John Lennox
Madeleine Flannagan of MandM
Voddie Baucham
Ravi Zacharias
Anthony Bradley
Tim Keller
Hi Brian. A few that have been mentioned - Michael Brown on the apologetic value of messianic prophecy, Ravi Zacharias, and John Lennox. There's one I don't think has been mentioned, not high profile but has done some really good work - John Blanchard, author of Does God Believe In Atheists?
I'll second Peter Hitchens. I listened to him shoot down a couple of wet politicians on Radio Four in quite some style. He reminds me of his brother(of course!), and perhaps a little like the current Mayor of London.
I highly recommend getting an interview with Jerry L Walls. He has written a very Apologetic minded book on Heaven, which I believe contributes significantly to the overall case for Christianity. He has also co-authored a book called Good God, which explores the moral argument in detail. See here:http://www.epsociety.org/userfiles/Baggett%20and%20Walls_2%20_Final_.pdf
