Lee Strobel

I know. There is a lot of that. And that's what I was recoiling against. And so... I thought I could disprove it. I ended up spending a year and nine months taking my journalism training, my legal training, and probing the historical data concerning the resurrection of Jesus mainly. Because even as an atheist, I understood everything, everything, everything.

depends on whether Jesus returned from the dead or not. Because clearly, Jesus made transcendent and messianic and divine claims about himself. He claimed he was the Son of God. At one point, he gets up before a group of people And he says, I and the Father are one.

And the word in Greek there for one is not masculine, it's neuter, which means Jesus was not saying I and the Father are the same person. He was saying I and the Father are the same thing. We're one in nature, we're one in essence. And the audience got it. They said, oh, you're a man and you're claiming to be God. So they were gonna kill him for claiming to be God.

He claimed to be God, but so what? I could claim to be God. Well, maybe not you. Anybody could claim that they're God. But if Jesus claimed to be God, died, and then three days later rose from the dead, that's pretty good evidence he's telling the truth. So even as an atheist, I recognize this is the ballgame. And if I could just disprove it, I'd be home free.

I could rescue her from this cult and go on with our life as it was. Where do you start to disprove something? It's so funny you ask that because this is back in 1980 or so when you're at the library with microfiche and microfilm and you're doing interlibrary loans that take four months to get an ancient book out of the library. You're going to museums to look at manuscripts. You're

But, you know, I was trained to investigate. I was an investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune. I did major investigations. I did a lot of the original reporting on the Ford Pinto case, which is before your time, but it was a big deal back then. And so I knew to pick up the phone and say, call a scholar and say, I'm Lee Strobel from the Chicago Tribune.
