Investigative journalist
Lee Strobel was once a critic of the Bible and a sceptic of the Resurrection. Through
a series of circumstances, he began and all-out investigation of the truth of
Christianity. He writes in his book, The
Case of Christ:
“Setting aside my self-interest and prejudices as best I could, I read
books, interviewed experts, asked questions, analysed history, explored archaeology,
studied ancient literature, and for the first time in my life picked apart the
Bible verse by verse.
I plunged into the
case with more vigour than with any story I had ever pursued. I applied the
training I had received at Yale Law School as well as my experience as legal
affairs editor of the Chicago Tribune. And over time the evidence of the world –
of history, of science, of philosophy, of psychology – began to point toward
the unthinkable.”
[Quote from The Case of Christ: A Journalist’s personal
Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan
Publishing House, 1998), p.14]
Eventually, the evidence
of the life of Jesus and the Resurrection so changed Lee Strobel’s life that
today he is a Christian speaker, author, and filmmaker living in Southern
California. What evidence did Lee Strobel and other investigators discover in
their search for the truth of the Resurrection?

“If Jesus rose from
the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the
dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything
hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose
from the dead.”
