"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. "
— Jeff (5 out of 5 stars)
" 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. "
— Chris, 2/14/2014" A bit gruesome and graphic, but well worth it. "
— Jana, 2/13/2014" Entirely one sided argument . . . and Strobel calls himself a journalist "
— Stephen, 2/12/2014" 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. "
— Vince, 2/9/2014" I am in love with this series... A journalist investigates the historical evidence for Jesus Christ. Wow. A must read. "
— Mackenzie, 2/6/2014" Well edited/written except for internal logical contradictions. "
— Josh, 1/15/2014" lame. he has no case. "
— Melissa, 1/14/2014" Just like his book A Case for a Creator... this book makes the case that Christ existed. Another must read by Lee. "
— Cofemale, 1/2/2014" Strobel interviews 12 scholars on the evidence of Jesus Christ (hence the Case for Christ). This book and evidence makes a strong case for the Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior. "
— Estevan, 12/28/2013" Excellent book - makes you think objectively about the bible and its authenticity. A new way to experience old beliefs :) "
— Mary, 12/9/2013" Amazing, his exploration as an investigative journalist. He's respectful, but hardheaded in his approach to finding out the truth about Jesus. "
— Heila, 11/27/2013" A somewhat surprisingly strong intro to the principle issues of historical Christian apologetics. Strobel's journalist style and approachable manner make it a great book to recommend to almost anyone wanting a good start in this field. "
— Kyle, 10/16/2013" good little book written by a journalist who wanted to answer some of his sceptical questions about jesus, who he was etc. it had a lot of neat little facts and good explanations for things you may have had questions about jesus too.. "
— Madeline, 7/28/2013" An excellent apologetic for the Christian faith. Clear and concise, it follows a logical course from beginning to end. An excellent read!! "
— Linda, 7/9/2013" very easy read, a great overview of all the work and thinking out there for the evidence of the historical jesus and his divinity. "
— Dan, 6/30/2013" I've not always trusted my emotional responses to Jesus, so books that contain research and lay out the logic behind my faith are very important. This book led me to several other resources, all of them helping to strengthen my belief. "
— carl, 6/16/2012" Made a believer out of me from an intellectual standpoint. It's a quick read. "
— Connie, 6/14/2012" I'm having a hard time with this book - he doesn't substantiate his findings. As a journalist, I find it disheartening that he assumes the reader is ignorant. "
— Dj, 6/10/2012" I can't get into it. I think it's weak. I don't know, I just like Josh McDowell's apologetics better. "
— Tammie, 3/16/2012" Poor scholarship "
— Corey, 1/4/2012" I liked this, somewhat simplistic, but has many good points. "
— Ann, 12/12/2011" Highly recommended for believers and atheists! "
— Yolanda, 5/8/2011" Hokum and pseudo science, rife with quote mining and "experts" giving testimony outside of their field of expertise. "
— Greg, 5/7/2011" I read this book a while ago, but I still remember the lack of supporting evidence and weak journalism. I have no interest in rereading it :)! "
— Dani, 4/29/2011" Wow! Great Story of Lee's personal search. I highly recommend it! "
— Mary, 4/27/2011" Well written and well thought out. Good book! "
— Keith, 4/17/2011" I've turned to this book, and the two others by Strobel, when I've hit rough patches and needed to be convinced that God is really there. This book is compelling, well-written, and just makes me feel better. "
— Tobie, 4/1/2011" I like Strobel more than I like the book. The book is just really light Christian apologetics.<br/><br/>Strobel's television interview show, Faith Under Fire, however was brilliant. One of the smartest and most interesting television shows I've seen. "
— D_Davis, 3/23/2011" Most tedious book I have ever tried to read, I probably won't even finish it. "
— Ameerah, 3/22/2011" So far, I really am loving this book :)One that I think everyone should read! "
— Susan, 3/7/2011" A powerful and enjoyable presentation of the case for Jesus Christ. A must read for all. "
— Eli, 3/5/2011" A bit gruesome and graphic, but well worth it. "
