Harold Lindsell (December 22, 1913 – January 15, 1998 ) was an evangelical Christian author and scholar who was one of the founding members of Fuller Theological Seminary. He is best known for his 1976 book The Battle for the Bible. He served as president of the Evangelical Theological Society in 1971.
