    Enjoyable quick read

    Quick accessible read as skeptic lawyer-journalist Lee Strobel makes the case for Christ by interviewing a slew of experts. Problem is that his chosen experts are all evangelicals and author does not seek the opinion of non-believers. The book would have had more validity if Strobel interviewed Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Coptic based academics. Nevertheless, the book is a good introduction into Christology but it does not provide any earth shattering conclusions.

    What I've found from other Stroble books is he takes objections raised by non-believers and answers them with testimony of believers. This method doesn't provide the benefit of a dialogue between the two but it's not like he's making up his topics in a vacuum either. This series is, after all, called "The Case FOR ...", like one side of a court case. I agree with your "quick easy read" comment. It's a good starting point, but certainly not exhaustive and won't convince and ardent skeptic. I think though it will help those who do not know some of these basic historical evidences. If that's all that's standing in someone's way of taking a step of faith or steadying a shaken faith, then this will be helpful.

    I'm older.
    I read it again.
    Not as good as once thought it to be. Loaded with logical fallacies, falsehoods and half-truths.
    Mucho recommendo Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. A million times better, cherished by me.

    Hello Gloria, could you provide one or two examples of half-truths and falsehoods you found?

    Historical evidence of Christ you say? You mean there is some? Yup! Tons! Get ready for some hot debates! Ha! This book offers up convincing arguments from leading experts on the subject. The problem I had was that none of the experts were non-believers and most came from an Evangelical background. In short the arguments were presented with a definite bias “preaching to the already converted”. The book also discounted other historical finds that it considers non-authentic like the Gnostic Gospels. But don’t let that put you off from this book! It still revealed some undisputed facts that I was unaware of. For example the sheer volume of copies of the early historical Gospel texts that exist. Current History Academia bases civilization’s history books on fewer and less coo berated historical documents. Did you know there are more copies of the Gospels from that period 2000 years ago than of the Roman Empire of the same time!? Yet, we take those documents as “gospel” (pun most definitely intended!) The Gospel’s content is constantly in dispute over its perceived inaccuracies by academic believers sand non-believers alike. Perplexing, isn’t it? Inside this book, there are many more uncovered facts that will rock your world, similar to the one just mentioned. So: to go for The Case for Christ or not to go for The Case for Christ? Absolutely go for it. There are just too many hard, documented historical facts about Jesus in this book to pass over. It’s an easy read even though the content deals with evidence. That’s a credit to Strobel’s writing style. He’s a professional writer first and foremost and a researcher second. And it shows. And this is a good thing. He is down to earth and unpretentious. In the end your faith is your own affair. Personally, after studying Torah and Kabala for three years, I finally understood what Christ was really teaching. From the Laws of Moses he simply taught “Love Thy Neighbour As Thy-Self”. Nice, but not earth shattering in the world at the time. Many Rabbis were teaching the same. But he also taught “Love thine Enemy”. Now that’s a revolution! As soon as He said that He had me. And He’s had me ever since. Enjoy the book.

    THE CASE FOR CHRIST

    You want to believe, but intellectually you just don't know. Well, put aside your pride for a short while and do an intelligent read . This is captivating reporting that leaves you waiting for the next chapter and even more evidence. Don't delay this read; the ramifications could be eternal. If you are a skeptic but need an "intelligent" reason to believe, here it is!

From Our Editors

He was an award-winning journalist. He had a background in law from Yale. And he was an avowed atheist. Then John Strobel tackled the biggest news story in history - the Gospel. He tracked down historical, scientific, psychiatric and circumstantial evidence, asked blunt questions and scrutinized the answers he got. Then he compiled The Case for Christ. These two 60-minute cassettes flow like fiction, gripping and fast-paced. But, as he concludes, it is anything but fiction. For the record, the once-sceptical Strobel is now a teaching pastor near Chicago.
