Here is something that I found quite interesting.

Ravi speaks at the Mormon Tabernacle

and: Craig Hazen's report on the Mormon Tabernacle event

To quote from one section of this article.

“Ravi Zacharias gave a dazzling message focusing on the person and work of Christ. I think it was the most effective thing he could have done. In my view the rank-and-file Mormons would not have found anything controversial in it. However, those LDS who had a more finely-tuned sense of theology (very rare among Mormons, even in their leadership) would have recognized some pointed challenges on sin, salvation, the nature of God, and the state of the human heart. Almost everyone in the audience clapped even when Ravi mentioned the Trinity--except for the BYU professors who knew it was not in concert with LDS teaching and sat more stoically at that point.

Nevertheless, Ravi received a long standing ovation from every person in attendance when he concluded.”

I would be interested in your thoughts on this.

My first thoughts on this issue, are it surprises me that another religion would invite someone opposed to what they believe to preach the Gospel.
