Harold Lindsell (December 22, 1913 – January 15, 1998[1]) was an evangelical Christian author and scholar, and one of the founding members of Fuller Theological Seminary.[2] He is best known for his 1976 book The Battle for the Bible.[3]

Lindsell was born in New York City, and obtained degrees at Wheaton College, University of California, Berkeley and New York University.[1] He taught at Columbia Bible College, Northern Baptist Theological Seminary and Fuller Theological Seminary, before becoming editor of Christianity Today.[1] He served as President of the Evangelical Theological Society in 1971.[4]

Lindsell is credited with boosting the efforts of conservatives to wrest the Southern Baptist Convention away from moderates over the issue of biblical inerrancy.[1] Ruth Graham credited him with "being used by God to save her doubting faith" while she was a student at Wheaton.[3]

Lindell was diagnosed with polyneuropathy in 1991, and died of flu complications in 1998.[3]
