Strobel, a lifelong atheist and religious skeptic, thought it wise to explore the historical basis for his wife's new-found faith in Christianity. With his keen analytical mind and award-winning background in journalism, he seemed to be the right man for the job of uncovering the evidence against the historical Jesus of Nazareth, who Christians call 'the Christ, the anointed Son of God.' But like many who had gone before him, what he found was just the opposite.
We all have biases, which help us interpret the world around us and define our own personal worldviews. Sometimes an individual with a negative bias towards Christianity but who is open to following where the facts lead can be the best witness for faith-related investigations. Although negatively biased toward Christianity at the time of researching and writing The Case for Christ, his love for the truth was satisfied in his analysis of the textual evidence, Jesus' personal evidence based on that textual evidence and scriptural proofs of His death and resurrection.
After the conclusions and life-changing ramifications of The Case for Christ, Strobel then continued his research into the Christian faith, examining theodicy, evolution myths he had once held sacred, the concept of Hell, and Old Testament genocidal accounts, among other issues many non-Christians struggle with. Always asking the tough questions and challenging world-class experts, Strobel builds the case for Christianity as the one true faith just as he did for Christ being the one true way. Easy-to-read, yet filled with irrefutable logic, Strobel's books have become popular apologetical works, as he continues his mission to break down the walls between biblical truth and blind faith in non-Christian beliefs.
