“In Defense of the Bible is a substantive and scholarly work. It provides a clear and comprehensive treatment of the critical issues related to the Holy Scriptures. This book will serve the church well.” – Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
Today, Houston Baptist University officially announced Lee Strobel as the newest member of our faculty in the School of Christian Thought! I am very excited. It is hard for me to wrap my head around the the thought that I will be working with Lee Strobel. Only about a decade ago, I began to read Lee’s book, The Case for Christ, as part of my own investigation into the evidence for the existence of God. His work was instrumental in finding scholars who could answer my questions. I began listening to lectures and debates by the people Lee had interviewed in his books. Plus, I began to read the works by these authors: Reasonable Faith by William Lane Craig, Love God With All Your Mind by J.P. Moreland, True for You, But Not for Me by Paul Copan and many more. It will be such an honor to serve alongside a man whose work has already been so influential in my life!
