Book Description:
The Case for Christ records Lee Strobel's attempt to "determine if there's credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God." The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger. Each interview is based on a simple question, concerning historical evidence (for example, "Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?"), scientific evidence, ("Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?"), and "psychiatric evidence" ("Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?"). Together, these interviews compose a case brief defending Jesus' divinity, and urging readers to reach a verdict of their own.

The author of this book was an atheist who set out to prove that Jesus could not possibly be who he claimed, the Son of God. In the process, he not only became convinced of Christ's divinity, he became a Christian. A very carefully thought out presentation of the evidence, both in the Bible and outside, concerning Jesus. Not only that, well written and engaging, too!

This is hands-down one of the best books I have ever read on Christianity. A must read for anyone - athiests and converts both will find this extraordinarily eye opening!

Good evidence more for understanding if you already believe. Kinda one sided. Recommended.

A classic! The author traces his journey from atheism to faith in Jesus of Nazareth. This is a duplicate in our house, we're keeping the other one.

Very interesting book on proving that Jesus was Christ the Messiah. Written by an atheist who set out to prove his wife wrong in her newly found Christian faith.

Very thorough review of the main arguments against Jesus as a real historical figure. Wonderful, intelligent read

If you are not a believer before you read this book, and you are unconvinced AFTER you read this book, than I don't know what more I can tell you. A very precise and lucid account of a sceptics journey through the evidence

Another book that supports the existance of Jesus Christ...a very popular subject with the DiVinci Code controversy.

Easy read, not too technical.

Excellent. Excellent. A must read. This book gives a very informed and logical approach to the historical pictures given in the Bible, especially the person of Christ. I keep ordering this book because I give so many away. Few things are really important in the daily grind, but how one views this Jesus can impact a persons entire life.

Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God?
