Product Description:
Using the dramatic scenario of an investigative journalist pursuing his story and leads, Lee Strobel uses his experience as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune to interview experts about the evidence for Christ from the fields of science, philosophy, and history. Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award.
Amazon.com Review:
The Case for Christ records Lee Strobel's attempt to'determine if there's credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth reallyis the Son of God.' The book consists primarily of interviews betweenStrobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) andbiblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger. Each interview is based on asimple question, concerning historical evidence (for example, 'Can theBiographies of Jesus Be Trusted?'), scientific evidence, ('DoesArchaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?'), and'psychiatric evidence' ('Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Sonof God?'). Together, these interviews compose a case brief defendingJesus' divinity, and urging readers to reach a verdict of their own.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Fail!
The very introduction to the book is a perfect analogy of the exact opposite of the author's intention.
The author describes his giddiness prior to an interview then pretends to be asking hard hitting questions. And finally he looses all credibility when he assists with breaking down his own question.
This is clearly a commissioned work where the conclusion was reached prior to any interviews.
Only theologians were interviews. No opposing points of view.
Fail. Epic Fail! ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent presentation of the Facts to expose the Truth!
This will increase your belief in God if you already believe in God. If you are unsure of where you will be spending Eternal Life and if the Bible is real then this is proof. The evidence is presented is a great way and can not be disputed. I am a Christian, but it gets tougher to defend our Faith, the Bible, and God. We face so many challenges today that this is a suit of armor to complement reading the Bible and going to church.
Rating:  - another fine strobel book
This is another example where Strobel faces the issues and supports the long held theory that it is more reasonable to be a Christian than an atheist. I believe this book was inspired by Strobel's own journey which led him from atheism to Christianity. Instead of engage in reading to research he interviews experts which enlivens the information with human interest. A committed atheist probably wouldn't enjoy this type of book very much. A genuine enquirer might find themselves on a path to Christianity. ... Read More
Rating: - An Excellent Read
Lee Strobel does an amazing job interviewing the leading scholars in their respective fields. Anybody who can read this and honestly say that the NT isn't historically reliable clearly isn't reading with an open mind. A must read for anyone who is unsure of the NT, or simply wants to strengthen their faith.
Rating: - Failed to Address Any of My Questions
A good friend of mine, who is quite sincere in his belief, provided me with a copy of this book, believing it would quickly dispel my lifelong agnosticism.I read it in good faith, hoping that here at last might be a book that would address a lifetime's worth of questions.Unfortunately, I realized within the first few minutes of opening it that it would do no such thing. It glossed over the most fundamental objections I have within the first few pages and never looked back from there. Thus, to me, it ... Read More
