Lee Strobel Talks About ‘Cultural Prophet’ Ravi Zacharias, Importance of Apologetics

“He spoke boldly into our culture,” Strobel told Faithwire of Zacharias. “But at the same time, he had this winsome way about him. Everybody who met Ravi walked away feeling like, ‘Ravi’s my friend.’ I love the man.”

Strobel, the author of the 1998 best-seller “The Case for Christ,” which was turned into a film by the same title in 2017, is the founding director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University. Understanding the logical framework of our faith is critical in an age that is “increasingly skeptical and often hostile toward the Christian message,” he said.

So many people around us have “spiritual sticking points … holding them up in their journey toward God.” Apologetics, Strobel explained, is key to helping unbelievers “make great progress toward the cross.”

The Strobel Center is launching 30 courses online in the fall semester, dealing with issues like science and faith, world religions, cults, the resurrection of Jesus, objections to Christianity, and apologetics in the arts.
