The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus (Case for ... Series) Paperback – September 6, 2016
Purchase options and add-ons
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! OVER 5 MILLION COPIES SOLD!
Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? Former atheist and Chicago Tribune journalist Lee Strobel takes an investigative look at the evidence from the fields of science, philosophy, and history.
In this revised and updated bestseller, The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools such as Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis, asking hard-hitting questions--and building a captivating case for Christ's divinity.
Strobel asks challenging questions like:
- How reliable is the New Testament?
- Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible?
- Is Jesus who he said he was?
- Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event?
Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, Strobel's tough, point-blank questions read like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it's not fiction. It's a riveting quest for the truth about history's most compelling figure.
This edition includes scores of revisions and additions, including updated material on archaeological and manuscript discoveries, fresh recommendations for further study, and an interview with the author that tells dramatic stories about the book's impact, provides behind-the-scenes information, and responds to critiques of the book by skeptics.
Also available: The Case for Christ Spanish edition, kids' edition, and student edition. Plus, be sure to check out Lee Strobel's entire collection of Case for books:
- The Case for a Creator explores the scientific evidence for God
- The Case for Grace uncovers the "how" and "why" behind God's amazing grace
- The Case for Faith responds to eight major objections about Christianity

From the Publisher
My Journey from Skeptic to Believer
I considered myself an atheist. To me, there was far too much evidence that God was merely a product of wishful thinking, of ancient mythology, of primitive superstition.
My wife Leslie stunned me in the autumn of 1979 by announcing that she had become a Christian, so I launched an all-out investigation into the facts surrounding the case for Christianity.
Setting aside my self-interest and prejudices as best I could, I read books, interviewed experts, asked questions, analyzed history, explored archaeology, studied ancient literature, and for the first time in my life picked apart the Bible verse by verse.
I plunged into the case with more vigor than with any story I had ever pursued. I applied the training I had received at Yale Law School as well as my experience as legal affairs editor of the Chicago Tribune. And over time the evidence of the world—of history, of science, of philosophy, of psychology—began to point toward the unthinkable.
—Lee Strobel

Many years ago, I had watched the movie based on this book and it was extremely interesting but I did not go further. However, I had the opportunity to watch it again recently, and immediately afterwards I bought the book. It is captivating, not only because of the careful writing and research but also because of what I was feeling when reading it. It has helped me bolster my faith and has equipped me with very good arguments to defend it and with very good reasons to try to become a better Catholic.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone genuinely interested in getting a fair idea of why us Catholics believe what we believe.
Finally, although the research behind the book is extremely deep, I would have liked a chapter regarding the Turin Shroud. In fact, I was a surprised that this topic was not even mentioned since from my point of view, that relic would have nicely supported the arguments of the book.
I enjoyed it thourougly and it has inspired me to seek out Jesus and to begin my journey and study of the Bible
I passed on the second book and focused my attention on A Case for Christ. And I have to say I was impressed. This book is incredibly well researched but doesn’t get bogged down in minutiae. Strobel’s writing is easy to read and digest.
I’ve always said the best case for Jesus’ resurrection is that none of his disciples changed their story even as many of them met horrifying ends. You threaten to burn me at the stake and I’m pretty much denouncing anything you want me to denounce. But there are no stories in our known history, either in the Bible or otherwise, where a direct disciple changed his testimony to spare himself. And for anyone who wants to refute Jesus’ status as deity, that’s a high hurdle to clear. Strobel of course makes many other arguments for Christ, but this is, and always will be, the strongest.
In the end, one line in this book stood out to me: “As long as the existence of God is even possible, it’s possible that he acted in history by raising Jesus from the dead.”
Is the existence of God possible? Of course it is. Is it likely? Is it something I believe in? No. I don’t. And believe me, I have spent more time pondering this question than any other in my life. But for me, there’s just nothing there but man’s burning desire that this can’t be all there is. That our short time on earth can’t be all we have. But for me, it is. And that fact actually brings me joy because it forces me to seize the day and make the most of my life, rather than hoping for some eternal reward. Eternity seems like a long time anyway, especially when I struggle sometimes to get to the end of the week.
Anyway, if you are Christian and want to solidify your faith, I highly recommend this book. It will not only help you believe even more fervently but it’ll give you fodder for your next argument with a skeptic like me.
Both the reputation and my cursory review confirm this is a classic, not unlike "Evidence That Demands a Verdict," by Josh McDowell and his son, Dr. Sean McDowell, PhD.
