Zondervan The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus

A seasoned journalist chases down the biggest story on record in The Case for Christ. Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, former Chicago Tribune legal editor Lee Strobel cross-examines a dozen experts with tough, point-blank questions in search of credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth was positively the Son of God. This riveting quest for the truth about history's most compelling figure reads like a captivating, fast-paced novel, yet it's anything but fiction! An ideal paperback for skeptics!

I read The Case For Christ the first time years ago as a new Christian, and it had a large impact on me then. Now, my teenage son is reading it and I can see a similar impact in him. This is a great book for new and old Christians alike.

Good book. Easy to read, but not simplistic. Read it and then pray about who to loan it to! Strobel makes a great case for belief in Christ. Good apologetics to help the believer share the Word, and good for the doubter who needs some direction.

This past Good Friday (4-6-12) I was one of the Seven Last Sayings of Christ speakers @ my home church. My Senior Pastor thought I had read "The Case for Christ" due to the way I defended the second criminal on the cross. I was his paralegal defense attorney & for all intents & purposes the evidence clearly showed that "today he deserved to be in Paradise with Jesus". I'd never heard of Lee Strobel before I was told of him & his investigative reporting style by my Senior Pastor, Bishop Eric Garnes. So I really had to get the book & it was a great read & testimony!

I have heard Lee Strobel speak and he is compelling and interesting as his books. I recommend this book if you need a concise, informative, credible evidence on this subject. Very good for bible study to help you understand what you beleive and to help those who are not sure they beleive.

I found this paperback book at a great affordable deal. The other side of this coin is that this book is a little difficult to read and following the writer. But hopefully has I continue to read on maybe I will be able to grasp what the writer is trying to prove.

I found the book to be very enlightening, factual and spiritual in the way Mr. Strobel conducted his investigation. This is the second time I have bought his book. I gave the first one to a person who's faith is not very strong. It has made a difference.

I mentor young pastors---seminary graduates---in the area of theology. But, I call my approach "Practical Theology" instructing them to wear their theology in their shoes, not in their heads. THE CASE FOR CHRIST, & its companion volumes are constant reference sources.

It is interesting that Christ is still on trial today and even after over 2000 years we find the world has condemned an innocent man to death. In this book it is obvious that the evidence proves Him to be the Christ and the Lord of all and we crucified him based upon our ignorance of truth. The book proves Jesus' innocence and diety. Truly the just shall live by faith because man's reasoning is not adequate.

This was an excellent book which was very well presented. Mr. Strobel provided irrefutable evidence that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah). He starts out explaining is unbelief in God and through a very personal and thorough search, has found that Jesus Christ is the only Way, Truth, and Life and that no one comes to the Father except by their belief in Jesus.
