David Wood (born 7 April 1976) is an American Evangelical Christian apologetic, philosopher, and YouTube personality. He is also well known for his criticism of Islam.

Early Life

Wood was an atheist in childhood. He believed fully in relative morality, and had numerous run-ins with law enforcement as a teenager. This culminated into him having became almost fully psychotic, and devising plans to murder people. One night, he nearly bludgeoned his father to death with a hammer at age 18. He was then diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, and sentenced to 10 years for malicious wounding. He was incarcerated for years, during which an inmate proselytized to him, leading to Wood's conversion.

Apologetics

Wood has been in over 50 moderated debates with atheists and non-Christian religions, especially Islam. He has hosted a YouTube channel named "Acts17Apologetics" from 2008 to 2022. He left YouTube in May 2022 due to censorship of his videos from the platform, but he returned later that same year with his channel "Apologetics Roadshow" primarily.
