Dr. Kevin Grasso is a biblical scholar, author, and linguist. He holds a PhD in Hebrew Language from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, as well as an MA in Linguistics (focusing on the Biblical Hebrew verbal system) and an MA in Comparative Religion (focusing on Paul and second temple Judaism). His academic work has appeared in leading journals and edited volumes, where he applies theoretical linguistics to exegetical problems. His current research focus is on the Messiah, law, faith, and justification in Paul's letters. Alongside his academic career, Kevin is the co-founder and CEO of Biblingo, an innovative and effective way to learn biblical Greek and Hebrew. One cool thing about Kevin is that he can actually speak biblical Greek and Hebrew conversationally (something very few people - even scholars - can do). He lived in Israel for several years and knows a lot about the original languages and culture of the Bible.

What is the icon communicating by drawing that parallel between His birth and His death?

The icon shows Christ born in a cave, not a stable. What’s the significance of that setting?

There are midwives in the icon, even though they don’t appear in the Gospel narratives. Why are they included?

For 30 years he has been interested in men’s work, especially in the areas of rites of passage, masculine archetypes, sacred space/time, and initiation. He is always looking for ways that traditional Orthodox psychology, spirituality, and practice can help everyone today become the best they can be. He is married to Annette, his wife of 40 years, and has two grown sons. When he's not at home, or at church, or in conversation with someone over coffee, he'll likely be at the gym, pumping iron.

Atheist-turned-Christian Lee Strobel, the former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune, is a New York Times best-selling author of more than 40 books and curricula that have sold 18 million copies worldwide. His books have received more than 25,000 five-star reviews on Amazon and have been translated into 40 languages.

Lee was described in the Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community’s most popular apologists.” He was educated at the University of Missouri (Bachelor of Journalism degree) and Yale Law School (Master of Studies in Law degree). He was a journalist for fourteen years at The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers, winning Illinois’ highest honors for both investigative reporting and public service journalism from United Press International.

After probing the evidence for Jesus for nearly two years, Lee became a Christian in 1981. He subsequently became a teaching pastor at three of America’s largest churches and hosted the weekly national network TV program Faith Under Fire. In addition, he taught First Amendment law at Roosevelt University and was Professor of Christian Thought at Houston Baptist University.

In 2017, Lee’s spiritual journey was depicted in an award-winning motion picture, The Case for Christ, which showed in theaters around the world. Lee won national awards for his books The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, The Case for a Creator, and The Case for Grace. His latest books are The Case for Miracles, The Case for Heaven, Is God Real? and Seeing the Supernatural, which debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list. In 2023, he was honored with the Pillar Award for History from the Museum of the Bible.

Lee and Leslie have been married for more than 52 years. Their daughter, Alison, is a novelist and homeschooling expert, and their son, Kyle, is a professor of spiritual theology at the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University.
