The Case for Christ
Lee Strobel was not always a believer. As an award-winning legal journalist and self-described atheist, he set out to disprove Christianity after his wife Leslie's conversion to the faith. What he found instead, after nearly two years of rigorous investigation, was a cumulative case for Christ so compelling that he became a Christian himself. The Case for Christ (1998) reconstructs that investigation, presenting Strobel's interviews with thirteen leading scholars and experts across the fields of history, archaeology, medicine, psychiatry, and philosophy. The book's central thesis is straightforward: when you apply the same standards of evidence a journalist or lawyer would bring to any other historical claim, the evidence for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is not only credible — it is overwhelming.

Lee Strobel was a hard-nosed atheist and award-winning journalist who once used his legal training to argue against Christianity. Then he turned that same investigative instinct toward the biggest question of all: Does science point toward God — or away from Him? The Case for a Creator (Student Edition, co-written with Jane Vogel) records his journey through conversations with leading scientists in cosmology, physics, biology, and astronomy. The central thesis is bold and straightforward: when you follow the evidence wherever it leads, the most reasonable conclusion is that the universe was intentionally designed by an intelligent Creator. Far from being enemies, science and faith turn out to be pointing in the same direction.
View Discussion GuideThe Case for Faith
Lee Strobel's The Case for Faith (2000) picks up where The Case for Christ left off — not with skeptics who dismiss Jesus, but with sincere believers (and honest doubters) who wrestle with the hardest objections to Christian faith. Strobel, a former legal editor and atheist, frames the book as a journalist's investigation: he identifies eight "rocks of doubt" — the toughest intellectual and moral obstacles that cause people to abandon or resist faith — and then interviews leading Christian scholars and thinkers to see whether those obstacles can be answered. The result is not a whitewash but a genuine intellectual journey, and the book's thesis is bold: honest doubt, seriously examined, need not destroy faith — it can deepen it.
