Summary
Is there credible proof that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? In The Case for Christ,Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and New York Times bestselling author, retraces his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith and builds a captivating case for Christ's divinity.

In this revised and updated edition of The Case for Christ, Strobel cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools such as Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis, asking hard-hitting questions--and taking a deeper look at the evidence from the fields of science, philosophy, and history.

In his comprehensive investigation, Strobel doesn't shy away from challenging questions, including:


- 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?
- What does all of the evidence point to--and what does it mean today?

 

Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, The Case for Christ has been adapted into a major motion picture and has now sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

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.

Strobel's thorough examination reads 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. Discover The Case for Christ today.

Praise for The Case for Christ:

'Nobody knows how to sift truth from fiction like an experienced investigative reporter, or to argue a case like someone trained at Yale Law School. Lee Strobel brings both qualifications to this remarkable book. In addition to his own tremendous testimony as atheist-turned-Christian, the author marshals the irrefutable depositions of recognized 'expert witnesses' to build his ironclad case for Jesus Christ. The Case for Christ sets a new standard among existing contemporary apologetics.'

Excellent book! Definitely not the end of the discussion but it is an excellent start and Lee Strobel recognizes that. The book is well researched, we presented, and honest about its perspective, uses and limitations. Whether you are a Christian or not many people today have a lot of misconceptions about Christ and the Bible and the credibility of the evidence for either/both. This book does a good job shedding some light on why the evidence is much stronger than one would typically think. I would recommend this book for both Christians and non-Christians who want to intelligently consider the case for or against the authenticity of Christ. It's an excellent introduction to some of the major areas of evidence and gist of the argument in favor of Christ in that category. It presents some of the major arguments against Christ and then offers a cogent rebuttal. Even if a skeptic is not ultimately won over, I think any reader giving a good faith assessment would have to concede that the evidence presented in he book is enough to give one pause.

If this book's intention was to convert non-christians into followers of Christ - it didn't succeed with this listener. My main concern with the interviews by the author is that none of the interviewees are skeptics. This leads to a one-sided perspective and feels forced in my opinion. However, I did find it interesting how many scholars spend their whole life studying and teaching a subject that ultimately seems pointless.

Was somewhat disappointed, spent a lot of time giving all the credits the scholars had and the books they wrote. That doesn't mean they were right. They are opinions and speculations in many areas. Took a shot at Mormons and Evangelic Christians. I am a Christian, but the writer seems to be impressed with himself about his change in life he made rather than the spirit of Christ. Some info was good but his self pride comes through.
