Lee Strobel searches for evidence to prove if Jesus reall was God in flesh. ( )

Each study is four studies. DVD total 167 Minutes.
In The Case for Christmas, Lee Strobel investigates the story of Jesus' birth and reveals how we can know it is true. He examines the Bible's claim that Jesus was born of a virgin, some of the "puzzles" we find in the Gospel that donā€™t seem to match up with the historical record, and the great mystery of the incarnationā€”how Jesus could be both fully God and fully human. Lee shows how the evidence points to the inescapable conclusion that Jesus was who he said he was: the divine Son of God.
In The Case for Easter, Lee Strobel looks at the story of Jesus' resurrection and reveals how we can know that it actually took place. He explores the "discrepancies" critics have pointed to in the Gospel accounts, looks at the evidence that Jesus' tomb was truly empty, and shows how the eyewitness accounts of those who saw Jesus alive after the crucifixion are credible. Lee reveals how all the facts point to the conclusion that led him from atheism to Christianity: Jesus was the Son of God who conquered the grave.

Felt like a cut down version of the Case for Christ, but a good read nonetheless. ( )

This is a short book written by the journalist Lee Strobel. While his main book, the Case for Christ (which I have not read) no doubt deals with what he has written here more extensively, this is still a very good and well written book outlining Strobel's investigation of who Christ was and the legitimacy of his claims. In fact, after reading this book I have developed a healthy respect for Strobel as it is clear that being a sceptic, he did not simply brush off Christianity but instead chose to investigate it fully to see whether the claims that it made where true. There are many people in the world who form opinions about a subject and simply discount all evidence to the contrary. Somebody who is willing to investigate a claim, and then be willing to change their views on a subject, to me, is a person worthy of respect. ( )
