Publisher Description

A seasoned journalist chases down the biggest story in history.

The Project: Determine if there's credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God. The Reporter: Lee Strobel, educated at Yale Law School, award-winning former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune--with a background of atheism. The Experts: A dozen scholars, with doctorates from Cambridge, Princeton, Brandeis, and other top-flight institutions, who are recognized authorities on Jesus. The Story: Retracing his own spiritual journey, Strobel cross-examines the experts with tough, point-blank questions:

  • How reliable is the New Testament?
  • Does evidence exist for Jesus outside the Bible?
  • Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual historical event?

This audio adaptation of Lee Strobel's remarkable Gold Medallion Award-winning book packs the energy of a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it's not fiction. It's a riveting quest for the truth about history's most compelling figure. What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ?

"Actually read this after I read "Case for Faith." Lee Strobel writes a good book as he goes around interviewing some great Christian men and women, and making... well, a case for Jesus Christ as the Messiah. I couldn't put it down. Again, a must read for every Christian. "

    " Simply put, I don't believe him. There is no way he was an atheist when he set out to write this book. I read this book hoping for some answers to some of my own questions and it turns out, this book is just a mouthpiece for Christianity from the get go. I was often frustrated when OBVIOUS follow-up questions were just left unsaid. He only interviews Christians and never skeptics. It was just intellectually dishonest. I feel like I was duped. Don't waste your time if you are honestly looking for an impartial exploration of this subject. "

    " Mr. Strobel does what good investigative reporters do -- Go to the experts and ask hard questions. It is a good book for people who want insights into how one answers the hard questions directed at Christianity in recent centuries. "
