Publisher Description

Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? And how can we know for sure? In The Case for Christmas, award-winning legal journalist Lee Strobel tells us that somewhere beyond the traditions of the holiday lies the truth.

Some say that newborn baby would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic. Still others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the divine Son of God. But who was he really?

Consulting experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy, Strobel searches out the true identity of the child in the manger, analyzing:

  • Eyewitness Evidence--Can the biographies of Jesus be trusted?
  • Scientific Evidence--What does archaeology reveal?
  • Profile Evidence--Did Jesus fulfill the attributes of God?
  • Fingerprint Evidence--Did Jesus uniquely match the identity of the Messiah?

 

Join Strobel as he invites you to push past the distractions of the holiday season and come into the presence of the baby who was born to change your life and rewrite your eternal destination: the greatest gift of all.

"This is a short book showing proof of Christ. I believe it is a shortened version of the Case for Christ. I think this would be great to give to a skeptic as a starting point. While I believe Jesus to be the Messiah through faith and my personal experiences, I love reading about the proof that has been discovered and shown throughout the years. This book whet my appetite to read his other books and some books that the author recommended for further study."

    " No, this isn't a discussion about why Christians should or should not celebrate Christmas...... Nor is it a discourse on whether Christians should put up Christmas trees..... This book is basically an investigation of the events surrounding Christ's birth - the census, the veracity of the historical accounts, fulfilled prophecies, Christ's claims to divinity etc. It was informative and highly readable.

    " Really loved all of the apologetic teaching, but felt like the examples mirrored the same as those in "Case for Christ". Quick read, though, and focused on the reason we celebrate the holidays in the first place. Great examples of faith in the midst of doubt. "
