Remember that Strobel's book is over 12 years old now, so it doesn't represent cutting edge apologetics any more (if that was ever its goal) however it is still significantly better than anything by Josh McDowell so take it as you will.
Unlike what Mike Licona has done with The Resurrection of Jesus, Dr Price has not abided by the normal conventions of historical study, a point Holding makes in his first paragraph.
It will be no surprise that Price doesn’t bother with an epistemology of authorship that resembles anything used by scholars on other ancient documents; instead, invoking his privilege as an alleged “critical historian” Price simply creates rules for determining authorship out of thin air, that is, when he bothers to use any rules at all.
If people do wish to use Dr Price as a source then they should probably be pointed in the direction of Holding's response.

I agree that Lee Strobel still remains to be a good resource in apologetics. Even though his book is a bit older, he still remains active in discussion, including a webcast that is coming up in March. You should check it out. www.incastevents.com It could be interesting.
