Lee Strobel - How Do We Know The Facts That Fuel Our Faith?

Atheist-turned-Christian Lee Strobel, the former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune, is a New York Times best-selling author of nearly twenty books and has been interviewed on numerous national television programs, including ABC's 20/20, Fox News, and CNN.

Described by the Washington Post as "one of the evangelical community's most popular apologists," Lee shared the prestigious Charles "Kip" Jordon Christian Book of the Year award in 2005 for a curriculum he co-authored about the movie The Passion of the Christ. He also has won awards for his books The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, The Case for a Creator, and Inside the Mind of Unchurched Harry and Mary.

Lee was educated at the University of Missouri (Bachelor of Journalism degree, 1974) and Yale Law School (Master of Studies in Law degree, 1979). He was a professional journalist for 14 years at The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers, winning Illinois' top honors for investigative reporting (which he shared with a team he led) and public service journalism from United Press International.

After a nearly two-year investigation of the evidence for Jesus, Lee received Christ as his forgiver and leader in 1981. He joined the staff of Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, IL, in 1987, and later became a teaching pastor there. He joined Saddleback Valley Community Church in Lake Forest, CA, as a teaching pastor in 2000. He left Saddleback's staff in mid-2002 to focus on writing. He is also a contributing editor and columnist for Outreach magazine.

Lee's other books include God's Outrageous Claims, The Case for Christmas, The Case for Easter, What Jesus Would Say, Exploring the Da Vinci Code (co-authored with Garry Poole) and Surviving a Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage, which he wrote with his wife, Leslie. For two seasons, Lee was executive producer and host of the weekly national network television program Faith Under Fire.

Lee is also co-author of the Becoming a Contagious Christian training curriculum, which is used around the world, and his articles have been published in a variety of magazines, including Discipleship Journal, Marriage Partnership, The Christian Research Journal, Guideposts, and Decision. He has appeared on such national radio programs as The Bible Answer Man and Focus on the Family. In addition, he has taught First Amendment law at Roosevelt University.

Lee and Leslie have been married for over 33 years and live in Southern California. Their daughter, Alison, is novelist whose second book will be published in 2006 by WaterBrook Press, a division of Random House. Their son, Kyle, is currently earning his third master's degree at the Talbot School of Theology; his first book is forthcoming from Baker Books.

@MMAenthusiastUHHE Yes I understand. My only question was (Greg Koukl spotted it) Deepak said he was uncertain about "His own particular worldview" but writes a book titled, "Peace Is The Way." That doesn't sound like uncertainty to me. If he was truly uncertain, he would have named it "Peace Is The Way Maybe? Or Possibly? Greg simply caught it and called him out on it.

[MMAenthusiastUHHE]

Only contradiction I heard was "giving reasons for Faith, so that we don't take a leap of Faith"????? how does that make any sense? 

[MMAenthusiastUHHE]

@spitcycle

Peace isn't his own worldview, it's the worldview of many, it transcends religion, race, and socioeconomic class bridging the gap that any ONE ideology leaves.

Wow did Deppok just get totally schooled--wow that was halarious--all deepak coudl do was interupt so he did nto have to continue to listen--wow--BAMMMM!!!

[billsf94131]

Deepok is so much more intelligent than Lee.

[spitcycle]

Greg made a great point. If Deepak is so uncertain about "his own worldview" then why write a book titled "Peace Is The Way?" He seems pretty certain about that!! Obvious contradiction...
