Atheist-turned-Christian Lee Strobel, the former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune, is a New York Times best-selling author of more than forty books and curricula that have sold fourteen million copies in total. He is the Founding Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University.
Strobel has been described in the Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community’s most popular apologists.” He was educated at the University of Missouri (Bachelor of Journalism degree) and Yale Law School (Master of Studies in Law degree). He was a journalist for fourteen years at The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers, winning Illinois’ highest honors for both investigative reporting and public service journalism from United Press International.
After probing the evidence for Jesus for nearly two years, Strobel became a Christian in 1981. He subsequently became a teaching pastor at three of America’s largest churches and hosted the weekly national network TV program Faith Under Fire. In addition, he taught First Amendment law at Roosevelt University and was Professor of Christian Thought at Houston Baptist University.
In 2017, Strobel’s spiritual journey was depicted in an award-winning motion picture, The Case for Christ, which showed in theaters around the world. Strobel won national awards for his books "The Case for Christ," "The Case for Faith," "The Case for a Creator," and "The Case for Grace." His other books include "The Case for Miracles," "The Case for Heaven," and most recently "Is God Real? Exploring the Ultimate Question of Life." A documentary based on "The Case for Heaven" was shown in movie theaters nationwide in 2022.
Strobel and his wife Leslie have been married for more than fifty years. Their daughter, Alison, is a novelist and homeschooling expert, and their son, Kyle, is a professor of spiritual theology at the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University.
