Bio Info

Richard Lee, an evangelical minister, has been a Chick tract fan for over 20 years. Among the first Chick publications he read were This Was Your Life and The Crusaders series. Jack Chick was influential in helping Richard obtain a rudimentary understanding of basic Protestant theological concepts, which tided him over until he pursued professional seminary training later. Richard Lee met Jack Chick in person in April 1986, although they had communicated by letter for several years before. Over the years, Richard has made several "pilgrimages" to Chick Publications to visit and purchase materials. During this time, he has examined and reexamined the basic theological beliefs contained within Chick tracts, and maintains that their concepts are basically in line with classic Protestantism, albeit at a "popular" level.

Richard is an Assemblies of God clergyman. He produced theThe Richard Lee Weekly Telecast, a cable program that ran for four years. He also provided interviews with local news media and was a source for the 1999 book Swaggart: An Unauthorized Biography of an American Evangelist, by Ann Seaman. Richard's biography was published in Who's Who in America, 2000 Millennial Edition. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in comparative religion from the University of Washington, a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Gonzaga School of Law, and a Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary. He is also a practicing member of the Washington State Bar Association. He plans to develop a Christian apologetics ministry which will engage in constructive dialogue on various issues ranging from atheism, Roman Catholicism, ecumenism, charismatic beliefs, and religion in general. He currently manages a general Christian evangelistic website. A comic book fan, Chick tracts have combined Richard's love for picture stories and religious concepts.
