The Case for Christ
Lee Strobel
"A Seasoned Journalist Chases Down the Leads in the Biggest News
Story in History"
If you were a journalist, how would you handle a news story so big
it would utterly eclipse all other world events? How thorough would
your investigation be? How many hard-hitting questions would you
ask? How carefully would you consult with top experts to get
detailed, accurate answers?
Lee Strobel knows firsthand.
It was as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune and an avowed atheist
that he first investigated the greatest news story of all--the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now, in The Case for Christ, he presents
compelling evidence and expert testimony for the claims of
Christianity. As a seasoned journalist with a Yale law background,
Strobel systematically tracks down his leads and asks the blunt,
tough questions readers themselves would want to ask--questions
that can make or break the Christian faith. He refuses contrived,
simplistic answers. Instead, he pieces together hard facts through
interviews with more than a dozen of the country's top scholars.
Written in the style of a blockbuster investigative report, The
Case for Christ is apologetics at its most imaginative--gripping,
compelling, marshaling expert testimony and incontrovertible
evidence.
With unerring instincts, Strobel ferrets out
Historical Evidence: Do we possess reliable documents concerning
the life, teachings, and resurrection of Jesus?
Scientific Evidence: Is there archaeological substantiation for the
historical accounts about Jesus? Did Jesus perform miracles?
Psychiatric Evidence: Did Jesus really claim to be God? What
evidence is there that he fit God's profile?
Fingerprint Evidence: What does prophecy have to say about
Jesus?
Other evidence: Jesus' death, the missing body, eyewitness
accounts, and claims of personal encounters.
The Case for Christ reads like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But
it's not fiction. It's a riveting journey to the truth about the
most remarkable event in history: the death, burial, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. And it's a revealing, personal
testimony to his power to transform people yet today--even the most
cynical, hard-bitten journalist.
