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

A wonderful book for anyone from a new Christian burdened with questions to an experienced apologist looking for a way to share the faith to a non-Christian with an academic interest in the Christian perspective. It's clear, written in a language those unfamiliar with Christian terms can understand, unoffensive and catering to those with genuine skepticism and a thirst for information. I'd recommend it for anyone, whatever their religion, as a good resource for understand the Christian worldview and tackling difficult theological questions.

The evidences for Christ and His claims are all there. The only choice is whether to ignore them or not. Strobel brings it all together in a concise, convincing manner to fortify the position that Christianity is not "blind" faith, as some would call it, but instead is a "reasonable" faith, based on solid, unquestionable evidence.

Whether you are simply curious about the Christian faith, or an outright skeptic, this book will give you the facts.

This is an AMAZING book, written from a factual and no-nonsense point of view. If you have questions, Lee has answers.

While the works for the individual "interviewees" in this book have merit on their own, the premise of this book is that they are being interviewed by a hard-nosed investigative reporter. The fact is, they are being interviewed by an author who already agrees with their premises before he speaks with them, and postures as asking the hard questions, while really he is lobbing softballs. Additionally, the book fails to live up to the author's claim of investigative reporting, by refraining to interview even one person with counter claims or alternate perspectives. Overall, the book is a failure because it does not live up to the premises it claims for itself.

I'm a Christian and I cannot stand this book. It's filled with fake answers that don't really answer the questions. If an athiest or any Christian asked you these questions and you read him/her the answers from this book, he/she would have no trouble stumping you and pointing out how your answers from this book are "sunday school" answers that only would satisfy an unknowing child. Waste of money.

Instead, read the books written by people challenging the bible, then find your own answers. Like if you read Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus and other books, then go find the truth. The Bible may not be infallible, but that doesn't mean God isn't true. When you read up on Bible/early Christian history, the "pat" Christian answers fail. When you learn Constantine the Great worshipped Apollo and set himself up as god, then you know he was no great Christian leader. But the Bible and "churchianity history" doesn't have to be true. God still is true. These things were done by corrupt, power-hungry man. But God is still real. Find the real God. God beyond human error and human writings.
