Lee Strobel Lee Strobel, with a Master in Studies of Law degree from Yale Law School, was an award-winning journalist for thirteen years at the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers. He was a spiritual skeptic until 1981. Today he serves as teaching Pastor at Willow Creek community Church in suburban Chicago. He is the best-selling author of several books, including The Case for Faith. Lee and his wife, Leslie, are parents of two college students. "Lee Strobel's brilliant investigative, fact-filled journalism adroitly assembles the overwhelming evidence of the claims of Christ. This book is a must for every Christian's reference and library, and should be shared with others." -Dr. Bill Bright, Founder and President, Campus Crusade for Christ International The Case for Christ © 1998 by Lee Strobel Willow Creek Resources, Zondervan Publishing House __________________ |
A Seasoned Journalist Chases Down the Biggest Story in History Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? Retracing his own spiritual Journey from atheism to faith, Lee Strobel, former legal Editor of the Chicago Tribune, cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools like Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis, who are recognized authorities in their own fields. Strobel challenges them with questions like How Reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence exist for Jesus outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the Resurrection was an actual event? Reads Like A Fast-Paced Novel Strobel's tough, point-blank questions make this remarkable book read like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it's not fiction. It's a riveting quest for the truth about history's most compelling figure. What will your verdict be in The Case For Christ? (-from the Back Cover). ______________________________ Atheist-Turned-Christian "Nobody knows how to sift truth from fiction like an experienced investigative reporter, or to argue a case like someone trained at Yale law School. Lee Strobel brings both qualifications to this remarkable book. In addition to his own tremendous testimony as atheist-turned-Christian, the author marshals the irrefutable depositions of recognized "expert witnesses" to build his ironclad case for Jesus Christ. I agree that The Case for Christ sets a new standard among contemporary Christian apologetics. -D. James Kennedy, Senior Pastor, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church "Utterly fascinating. I wholeheartedly recommend it." -Ravi Zacharias, Ravi Zacharias Ministries ______________________________ Also by Lee Strobel:

______________________________ Educated in Law and Journalism "As few people in our generation, Lee Strobel understands the mind-set of modern skeptics. More than an apologetic, this masterful work answers underlying questions of persons examining the claims of Christ. It is as fascinating as it is convincing." -Dr. Robert E Coleman, Director of the School of World mission and Evangelism; Director, The Billy Graham Center Institute of Evangelism "Educated in Law and Journalism, Lee Strobel interviewed thirteen leading scholars and authorities, asking the tough questions about Jesus of Nazareth, and the biblical record of his life. Lee concludes that it would actually require much more faith for an atheist to maintain atheism then it would to trust in Jesus. I believe Lee is right. The Case for Christ presents overwhelming historical evidence that Jesus is who he claimed to be." -Luis Palau ______________________________ The Case for Christ is available to Supporters of The Prayer Foundation™.
