Case for Christ Our Price: $18.99 |
| Synopsis If you were a journalist, how would you handle a news story so big it would utterly eclipse all other world events? How thorough would your investigation be? How many hard-hitting questions would you ask? How carefully would you consult with top experts to get detailed, accurate answers? Lee Strobel knows firsthand. It was as an award-winning reporter for the Chicago Tribune and an avowed atheist that he first investigated the greatest news story of all—the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now, in The Case for Christ, he presents compelling evidence and expert testimony for the claims of Christianity. As a seasoned journalist with a Yale law background, Strobel systematically tracks down his leads and asks the blunt, tough questions you would want to ask—questions that can make or break the Christian faith. He refuses contrived, simplistic answers. Instead, he pieces together hard facts through interviews with a dozen of the country's top scholars. Written in the style of a blockbuster investigative report, The Case for Christ is a provocative and spellbinding read, marshaling expert testimony and persuasive evidence. With unerring instincts, Strobel ferrets out: Historical Evidence: Do we possess reliable documents concerning the life, teachings, and resurrection of Jesus Scientific Evidence: Is there archaeological substantiation for the historical accounts about Jesus Did Jesus perform miracles Psychiatric Evidence: Did Jesus really claim to be God What evidence is there that he fit God's profile Fingerprint Evidence: What does prophecy have to say about Jesus Other Evidence: Jesus' death, the missing body, eyewitness accounts, and claims of personal encounters. The Case for Christreads like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it's not fiction. It's a riveting journey to the truth about the most remarkable event in history: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And it's a revealing, personal testimony to his power to transform people yet today—even the most case-hardened, cynical journalist. Also available on audio cassette.
