Episode notes
Atheist Journalist Became Christian After Two Year Investigation
- Lee Strobel was an atheist who set out to disprove the resurrection to 'rescue' his wife and instead converted after two years of investigation.
- He used journalism and legal research, concluding on November 8, 1981 that the evidence compelled belief.
Four Es That Form Strobel's Resurrection Case
- Strobel summarizes the historical case for the resurrection with four Es: Execution, Early accounts, Empty tomb, Eyewitnesses.
- He cites medical, secular scholarship, creedal dating within months, enemy admissions, and multiple ancient sources as corroboration.
Anchor Faith In Evidence Not Pastors
- When church leaders fall, keep faith anchored in evidence for Christianity rather than the pastor's character.
- Strobel advises relying on apologetics and the resurrection evidence, not on human leaders, to preserve belief.
