Product Description
Synopsis
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 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?

Strobel asks the kind of questions I might want to ask of these Bible scholars - but would probably have been to polite to. What can be seen from this is that the most extensive, probing questioning will help the subject present their case all the more convincingly, that is, if it is true.
The book is well-paced. It flows and is gripping. I really didn't want to close the book when I got to the end of a chapter... I wanted to keep reading. Strobel really does get these scholars to explain every angle. Far from being musty, these interviewees are exciting and have a story to tell.
By the end of this book I was in no doubt about the facts and the conclusion they led to. I had gone through the same journey as Strobel; from doubt to faith.
This book is a must-have, whether you are a Christian or not. In fact if you're not, read this book and see if it answers your questions about why you are not. I'm betting it will.
Format:Paperback
Personally, I read Lee Strobel's original Case for Christ when I was a third year at university and found it totally gripping. In the original interviews he goes into great depth regarding the origin of scripture, the writings of contemporary scholars (such as Josephus) and, to be honest, obtains answers questions I hadn't even thought of yet! The only issue with the original is that it's a relatively heavy read and will simply not be finished by many people. Since encountering The Student Edition of The Case for Christ, I've passed this on to three people, all of whom found it both intelligent and challenging, yet readable. My sister, who is completing a medical degree and will not habitually read for pleasure due to the vast amount of time she devotes to studying, loved this. The format is visually attractive and the writing engaging. Would highly recommend.

Format:Paperback
This book is fantastic and well sourced, when I first became Christian I began to wonder about how historical what I believed was and read loads of books, a lot of them very dry academic documents. This book sources them but is a lot more readable. Every assertion Strobel or one of his interviewees makes is backed up by reliable academic material (academic material means that it is peer reviewed, i'm surprised the "scientist" who reviewed below didn't think about this).
I would thoroughly reccomend it, it is well researched and reliable but much more readable than other similar works.
