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. Pack of 6 mass market editions.
Details: Lee Strobel's - The Case for Christ is a very well researched book. The book provides verifiable evidence for the existence of Jesus, the trustworthiness of the New Testament, and the evidence for the resurrection. Strobel allows some of the most renowned Biblical, psychological, and archaeological experts to weigh in on these issues. He approaches it much more like a journalist then a scholar which came across in his interview process.
Once again, the evidence is overwhelming for the earthly presence of Jesus, the crucifixion, the reality of the resurrection, the early eyewitnesses. Each one of these evidences may be reasoned away but is in the billions of chances that all of them could be reasoned away together.
Great book.

Review Summary: Dare you hire this man on behalf of your defense?
Date: 2007-07-09
Details: Lee Strobel may have been a self proclaimed Atheist, but he would be hard pressed to convince any logic based Atheist with his arguments. His sources are as biased as can be (all faith based believers). At best this book supports the argument that a man named Jesus, a leader of a revolutionary faith, existed. As far as the claim that he was in fact supernatural and the Son of God (whether claimed by Jesus himself or those next in line in authority), unfortunately there is no case. Cult leader after cult leader make such claims with successful fellowship. With the sanity of the leader necessarily in question, they may even believe it themselves and have the best of intentions making fellowship that much more effective. Mix that with the need of reform by a mass populous and there's little to stop it. And you can't overlook the fact that it becomes difficult to argue a case of Christ-hood when such supernatural events have not been witnessed by anyone since the time of such claims. Faith is the sole requirement for a reason. I would love to have read a book that was rock solid on the subject, but sadly it was full of holes.
Many people claim to be Atheists while being completely ignorant of what it means to be so. For example, some people claim to be Atheists because of a disagreement with their God. They are not Atheists. Lee Stroble reminds me of this group of people.
Review Summary: Cost Effective
Date: 2007-02-13
Details: If you want to make this book available to a large group (like a Sunday School class), this is a cost effective way to do so. The font size is very readable, which is not always the case in books at this price range.
