## Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! OVER 5 MILLION COPIES SOLD! Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? Former atheist and Chicago Tribune journalist Lee Strobel takes an investigative look at the evidence from the fields of science, philosophy, and history. In this revised and updated bestseller, The Case for Christ , Lee Strobel cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools such as Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis, asking hard-hitting questions--and building a captivating case for Christ's divinity. Strobel asks challenging questions like: How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Is Jesus who he said he was? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event? Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, Strobel's tough, point-blank questions read like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it's not fiction. It's a riveting quest for the truth about history's most compelling figure. This edition includes scores of revisions and additions, including updated material on archaeological and manuscript discoveries, fresh recommendations for further study, and an interview with the author that tells dramatic stories about the book's impact, provides behind-the-scenes information, and responds to critiques of the book by skeptics. Also available: The Case for Christ Spanish edition, kids' edition, and student edition. Plus, be sure to check out Lee Strobel's entire collection of Case for books: The Case for a Creator explores the scientific evidence for God The Case for Grace uncovers the "how" and "why" behind God's amazing grace The Case for Faith responds to eight major objections about Christianity . . . and more!

Review: Not afraid to ask difficult questions. A must-read. - I have been wanting to expand my understanding of Christian apologetics for many years by reading Josh McDowell's Evidence That Demands a Verdict. Thumbing through the book in bookstores showed it to be in a rather dry outline form that discouraged me from actually following through. I was introduced to Lee Strobel a couple years ago when a pastor at my church was teaching my Bible study class from Strobel's God's Outrageous Claims. I recently discovered that Strobel wrote a book investigating the claims of Christianity and was eager to read it. That book is The Case for Christ. It proved to be more readable than Evidence, but still convicingly makes the case for Christ. Strobel, a lawyer and journalist, who covered the topsy-turvy world of Chicago crime, applied his training to verify or discount the claims of Christianity. An admitted atheist, he took up this task after his wife accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. He studied all of the information he could find from both supporters and detractors of Christianity and then set out on a several year voyage of research and interviews with experts in various fields. The Case for Christ is a history of this voyage. Strobel applies the various legal evidences that would be required for a conviction in the courts: eyewitness accounts, documents, corroboration, science, rebuttals, psychology, profiles, "fingerprints," medical evidences and circumstantial evidence. There are 14 chapters in all, and in each, he examines a different type of evidence and interviews an acknowledged expert in the field, travelling all over the US to do so. Each chapter addresses a question such as: Do historical accounts outside of the Bible confirm the life of Jesus? Were the eyewitnesses reliable? Was there credible evidence of the empty tomb? Could Jesus have survived the flogging and crucifixion? The list goes on an on, and I can't imagine that it leaves many stones unturned for someone verifying the claims of the church. All in all, he verifies the claims of Christianity most convincingly, and does so in a very academic manner. Even though this book is fairly easy to read, it is appropriately referenced. These can be very complex subjects, and about the only complaint that might be levied on this book is that it does not go deep enough. To do so would require volumes, though, and Strobel gives references for someone wanting to investigate further. I was trying to complete another book when I picked this one up. A mistake. I had trouble putting it back down. I certainly recommend this book to all Christians. It is not afraid to ask difficult questions, and is a welcome change from the fluffy, feel-good books that flood Christian book stores. Although this is information with which every Christian should be familiar, I also recommend the book for anyone investigating the claims of Christianity. We all probably suspect the end: Strobel, facing the undeniable mountain of evidence, accepts Christ himself, concluding, "it would require much more faith for me to maintain my atheism that to trust in Jesus of Nazareth!"
Review: Intelligent, organized and affirmative - Great resource in religious studies. Encourages thoughtful, intelligent review of biblical readings. Each chapter ends in reflective questions for personal and/or group study as well as resource lists for further study. Have read only first two chapters, taking my time to digest Strobel's questions, findings and words, but looking forward to the rest of the book. Although reading for personal (lay) enlightenment, recommend for all individual and group studies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lee Strobel provides the legwork.
*by S***O on January 14, 2007*

Before I was persuaded to read this book, I was under the impression, as it appears that many are, that Strobel was converted from atheism while conducting his "Case for Christ". This is not the reality of the situation and Strobel makes no attempt to hide this fact. In the introduction Strobel writes, "That's what this book is about. In effect, I'm going to retrace and expand upon the spiritual journey I took for nearly two years." (p. 14). It is no mystery that by the time he began conducting the interviews for this book Strobel was already a Christian. Where does one turn if they want the most scholarly information about Jesus Christ as shown in a Christian light? Well...Christian scholars, of course. This book is biased by the fact that only Christians are referenced in the research conducted for this work but, after all, the purpose of this work is to convey the outcome of Strobel's personal investigation. One would have to believe that it was Strobel's goal to clearly depict the end result of his own research, rather than to jumble the intended message with contradictory opinions and fact. "The Case for Christ" is an amazing stepping stone for individuals interested in further intellectual research into Christianity. Strobel consulted some of the most respected and credible scholars in their fields of study while coming to his ultimate conclusion. The information that Strobel made available throughout this work would have translated into an incredible amount of reading and research if one attempted to obtain the same information on their own, not to insinuate that one should take this information as the final authority. The fact that all of Strobel's references are believers in the Christian faith does nothing to belittle the fact that the information they divulge is to the best of their knowledge as respected scholars. In other words, the interviewees say nothing that they believe or know to be a proven falsehood. In "The Case for Christ", Lee Strobel sets out to determine whether or not Jesus Christ was who he claimed to be, or if he even existed. Strobel effectively presents the evidence for this "case" as it might have been presented in a court of law. Strobel applied the knowledge that he obtained at Yale Law School and his experience as the legal affairs editor of the Chicago Tribune to present the information he obtained in this well thought out and extremely readable book. The importance of this work is the fact that the entire Christian religion hinges on whether or not Jesus Christ was the person portrayed in the Christian Bible and Strobel realizes this. As far as the information surrounding Jesus' existence, his life, and his death, Strobel leaves no stone unturned. To further illustrate his point, Strobel is often found playing the devil's advocate...no pun intended...by posing some of the leading arguments against what his references are claiming to be true, and then asking them to provide an answer. While some of the issues attended to in "The Case for Christ" are hot topics in religious debate today; the arguments provided by Strobel's interviewees are just as convincing and though provoking as those that could be found in any intellectual argument for or against Jesus Christ. "The Case for Christ" is certainly a compelling read and I would recommend that anyone, of any religion or lack thereof, use the information it provides and apply it however one chooses. This is a pro-Christian work and should be looked at as such, but for those who are either new believers in the Christian faith or simply looking for a little guidance in their search for the big questions, Strobel provides a great deal of insight that one might not come across on their own. "The Case for Christ" is well written and unlike many books of this genre, resists the urge to force feed its information and opinions to people who are not, as of yet, ready to commit their life in one direction or the other.
