(*at 41.0, Dr. David Wood is talking about how he came to be convinced about Jesus' resurrection. I think it is very worthy to listen to. His argument is very convincing to me.-BH-)
In a video testimony about Dr. David Wood's conversion to Christianity he has stated that he was an atheist in his youth, and that he had run-ins with the law by breaking into homes and later went as far as smashing his father's head at the age of 18 in an attempt on his dad's life, claiming a belief that morality was merely societal rules that were beneath him. He also said that after the assault on his father, Wood was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (Psychopath) and was sentenced to ten years in prison for malicious wounding. While in prison, he said, he was confronted with a fellow prisoner named Randy who was a devout Christian(* Randy turned himself in for 21 felonies after he became a Christian, David thought he was such an idiot to do so at that time). Wood said he often challenged Randy's Christian beliefs, initially claiming that Randy was only a Christian because he was born into a primarily Christian society, specifically the United States. Wood stated that, while in prison, he and Randy frequently fasted, with Wood attempting to "beat" Randy at fasting, which eventually resulted in Wood being placed into solitary confinement under observation due to concerns over Wood potentially attempting to commit suicide by starvation. During this time, he began to read the Bible and participate in various Bible study programs in order to respond to Randy's rebuttals (thus "beating" him) but it eventually led Wood to convert to Christianity in 1996
Dr. David Wood is also the person God used to bring a very devout Muslim Nabeel Qureshi to Christ by debating with him back and forth for 4 years when they were classmates in college. Nabeel Qureshi is the author of "Seeking Alpha Finding Jesus"
