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 twenty books.
Described by the Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community’s most popular apologists,” Lee shared the Christian Book of the Year award in 2005 for a curriculum he co-authored about The Passion of the Christ. He also won Gold Medallions 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. His most recent books are The Case for the Real Jesus and Finding the Real Jesus.
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 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.
Lee has served as a teaching pastor at two of America’s most influential churches: Willow Creek Community Church and Saddleback Valley Community Church. He has been writing full-time since 2002 and is currently a columnist for Outreach magazine.
Lee and Leslie have been married for 35 years and live in Southern California. Their daughter, Alison, is a novelist, and their son, Kyle, is pursuing a doctorate in theology at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.
