About this ebook

Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools like Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandies who are recognized authorities in their fields. Strobel challenges them with questions like 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 event? Strobel's tough, point-blank questions make this remarkable book read 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?

Ratings and reviews

This book is a great read. It will explain to you why God IS real. He did not believe before he started writing this book but the history and the evidence was more than enough to convince him. GOD IS REAL!

There's no way to read this with an open mind and walk away without coming to one of two conclusions: Jesus is exactly who He claims to be, or everything in the universe lined up just right, since the beginning of time, to allow the most intelligent person who ever lived to convince an immeasurable number of people for thousands of years that He is. You really have to not want to believe to accept the latter.

I enjoyed this book and felt the author used reliable references. Not all my questions were answered, but it's certainly ignited my quest for more information!
