Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon

The Case for Christ records Lee Strobel's attempt to "determine if there's credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God." The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger. Each interview is based on a simple question, concerning historical evidence (for example, "Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?"), scientific evidence, ("Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?"), and "psychiatric evidence" ("Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?"). Together, these interviews compose a case brief defending Jesus' divinity, and urging readers to reach a verdict of their own.

Review

A Seasoned Journalist Chases Down the Biggest Story in History The Project: Determine if there’s credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God. The Reporter: Lee Strobel, educated at Yale Law School, award-winning former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune—with a background of atheism. The Experts: A dozen scholars, with doctorates from Cambridge, Princeton, Brandeis, and other top-flight institutions, who are recognized authorities on Jesus. The Story: Retracing his own spiritual journey, Strobel cross-examines the experts with tough, point-blank questions: How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence exist for Jesus outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual historical event? . . .

This remarkable book 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. What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ -- Publisher

5.0 out of 5 stars Shows that Christianity Makes Sense., Sep 30 2007
This review is from: Case For Christ (Paperback)
This book caused a fundamental change in the way I looked at Christianity. After reading this book, I was able to finally able to explain "why" I believe. It showed me that Christianity is made stronger by looking at the evidence and gave me the courage to have conviction in my faith. Every Christian should read this book, and buy a copy for their friend, family member or co-worker who insists that Christianity doesn't make sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest investigation, July 2 2004

L. Mohr (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Case For Christ (Paperback)
"The Case For Christ" is an enjoyable and easy to read. The author deals with numerous tough questions about the Bible and the life of Christ. Questions are answered concisely, but the author includes lists of many other books for further reading on any topic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read it for the right reasons., Nov 2 2002
By 
Joshua D. Reighley (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Case For Christ (Paperback)
There are good reasons to read this book, and there are probably bad reasons to read this book. I read it as I was coming to Christ, and it helped me to feel more secure in my descision.

Really the core question that this book is not "Did Christ live and is indeed the Savior of the world?", but "Can a reasonable person believe?"

If you are reading the book to find the answer to the first question, then I do not think the book can make you believe the answer. It provides one person's answer to each of the common questions asked. Each of these experts are biased in their belief, and present "a" answer to the question presented to them, not nessesarily "the" answer. If you are truely searching for objective truth, then you are looking in the wrong place. (Objective truth is probably impossible to find on religious matters)

If you are looking for the answer to the second question, then this is an excelent book. It shows how a studied and resonable person can believe. Each of the experts interviewed believe, and provide very solid reasonable explainations about how they can believe considering the common objections that they are questioned about.

I believe that it is God's job to call you to faith. If you are feeling His call, this book can help you understand and explain that the Christian faith is not a blind faith.
