What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ?Īs with any religious book, objectivity is impossible (since religion, by loose definition, is subjective experience of that which is unproven) so here's my subjective opinion as a Christian. Like Strobel, you'll be amazed at the evidence - how much there is, how strong it is, and what it says. You'll consult expert testimony as you sift through the truths that history, science, psychiatry, literature, and religion reveal. Join him as he retraces his journey from skepticism to faith. An atheist, Strobel felt certain his findings would bring Christianity's claims about Jesus tumbling down like a house of cards. That's why Lee Strobel - an award-winning legal journalist with a knack for asking tough questions - decided to investigate Jesus for himself. A reasonable person would never believe them, let alone the claim that he's the only way to God! But a reasonable person would also make sure that he or she understood the facts before jumping to conclusions. But miracles? Rising from the dead? Some of the stories you hear about him sound like just that - stories. There's little question that he actually lived.

These excellent students do learn the skills of proper dance, dress and manners, but they also learn how to appropriately kill divert, deceive, spy, and handle a weapon against all foes.
