Description

There's little question that he actually lived. But miracles? Rising from the dead? Some of the stories you hear about him sound like just that--stories. A reasonable person would never believe them, let alone the claim that he's the only way to God! But a reasonable person would also make sure that he or she understood the facts before jumping to conclusions. That's why Lee Strobel--an award-winning legal journalist with a knack for asking tough questions--decided to investigate Jesus for show more himself. An atheist, Strobel felt certain his findings would bring Christianity's claims about Jesus tumbling down like a house of cards. He was in for the surprise of his life. Join him as he retraces his journey from skepticism to faith. You'll consult expert testimony as you sift through the truths that history, science, psychiatry, literature, and religion reveal. Like Strobel, you'll be amazed at the evidence--how much there is, how strong it is, and what it says. The facts are in. What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ? show less

This is the student edition at 115 pages that summarizes the context of the original edition. It was OK and quick read -- but I enjoyed the movie much more.

NOTE: I have not read the original text.
I accidentally got this from the Library thinking it was the standard edition; however, 1/2 way through I realized that it was the Student edition. Oh well, I tend to let my OCD take over at times like this, so I finished it anyways.
I read this in my youth group and it was way more interesting than I thought it would be.
