"I'm a huge fan of Lee Strobel's work, and this book is no exception. I thought the way he presented the flaws in the Jesus Seminar's methods was well done, and would help someone who has been confused by their claims. It does a good job of exposing the problems with many the recent attempts to discover the "Real" Jesus. I would definitely recommend this book."

" I had questions. I had DOUBTS.....not anymore. It all makes sense. "
— Betty, 2/19/2014" I just stumbled into it and it look interesting. I will write more after I read it. "
— Joe, 2/14/2014" Hard to refute the who Jesus really is through this investigation. "
— Max, 2/5/2014" Strobel does it again: using his interview format to delve into the questions facing Christian apologists today. Only this time, I wasn't quite as impressed. The book is pretty strong in the first half especially, but too often takes a dismissive tone when addressing the opposing viewpoint--to the point that I'd hesitate to share this with a non-believer. "
— Kessia, 2/1/2014" Evidence presented in a way interesting enough to hold on to a reader to the end "
— Amy, 1/29/2014" Great book for those who question if claims by James Cameron and Dan Brown have any significance. Not for the faint of faith though. Be prepare to have your traditions challenged. I really enjoyed it. Again, Lee explained why I believe what I believe. "
— Megan, 1/28/2014" I was a believer before, but this was a convincing book written by an athiest, journalist who became a believer after researching for this book! "
— Georgianne, 1/20/2014" I like the way Strobel writes, but I wasn't as impressed with this book as with his first book in the "Case For" series. Mostly because the first one was a book his started writing as an atheist and changed as he researched and wrote it. This is still good, though. "
— Curtis, 12/30/2013" Excellent elementary apologetic book. Strobel is always excellent at reliably presenting material from leading scholars and common objections to Christianity. "
— Alan, 12/23/2013" In some ways, this could be seen as a Part II of Case for Christ. Lee Strobel tackles some of the more recent false beliefs about Jesus. It reads like a series of interviews. Strobel does a good job at finding people who know what they're talking about. An admirable addition to the series. "
— Lauren, 12/23/2013" Strobel does a great job of searching out real scholars that know their 'stuff'. This book is certainly written to appeal to the general public but it has a scholarly undertone throughout. "
