When Lee Strobel went from Atheist to Christian 2025-09-04T20:30:31-04:00 Ben Witherington
Lee Strobel was a lawyer. He knew the rules about evidence and proof. And one day he came to interview me at Asbury many years ago. He was writing his first book, that turned out to be big— The Case for Christ. He even had me filmed playing the guitar. The video is still out there somewhere. I was telling him about why Jesus called himself the Son of Man and why that’s a major clue as to how he viewed himself. This little clip captures what it was that changed Lee Strobel’s mind, heart, and frankly his whole life from atheist to one of the strongest advocates and apologists for the Gospel in my lifetime. It was the evidence for the bodily resurrection of Jesus in 1 Cor. 15 written during the lifetime of the original eyewitnesses.
