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.

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

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.

A wonderful book. Is shows what evidence there is for Jesus. A good book for those who are uncertain if Jesus was real or not.

This is an excellent book that answers many questions about the validity of the NEW TESTAMENT. Lee Strobel cross-examines a dozen experts in different fields to answer the question \"Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God?\". It will make the skeptic in you believe.

I thought I was getting an impartial account of what we know about the historical Jesus. The author spent 1/2 the book explaining just how impartial he was (because of his training in journalism - gag), and the other half being a transparent advocate of his world view. Lame.

Thought the book was really lame. If you are already a believer in his "sources" then it makes sense. But, if you are looking for new evidence, it's not here. There's nothing new or mind changing in this book.

I found this book to be babyish and self-serving. I have a strong belief in God and wanted to read this book to find out more about the evidence out there on Jesus. I think I could have easily read the work of each of the folks he interviewed and found out what he found out. He tries to make it seem like he did all of this investigative interviewing and that he is so much more discriminating in his information gathering than most people but all he did was go and talk to various research professors and write down what they said. Then to make it even more annoying, at the end of each chapter he has several reflective questions for the reader about the information and its results on their belief in God. It didn't leave me with the impression that he tries to set which is that he is writing the book from the perspective of an unbiased reporter/attorney pulling out the truth regardless of his stance on it. I did learn many things that I did not know previously but I found the authors writing style very condescending which made reading it difficult and took me longer than most books to finish.
