Lee Strobel, a former legal editor for the Chicago Tribune, is a Christian apologist and former teaching pastor of Willow Creek Community Church. He has written several books, including:

• Inside the Mind of Unchurched Harry and Mary (1993)

Additionally, Strobel hosts a television program called Faith Under Fire shown on PAX TV.

He has often claimed that his journalistic experience allows him to evaluate claims by contemporary theological authorities and biblical scholars. Critics accuse him of having sacrificed journalistic objectivity, by considering the opinions of academic Christian theists while paying insufficient attention to the rebuttals of academic atheists.
