The Case for Christ

Why I'd hand it to you

Lee Strobel was a legal journalist at the Chicago Tribune and an atheist when he set out to investigate the claims about Jesus. He interviews scholars on the reliability of the Gospels, the evidence for the resurrection and other questions, and along the way he comes to faith. It is clear and organized like a reporter's case file. In fairness, every scholar he interviews is a believer, so skeptics often say it presents only one side of the evidence. Pair it with a book that includes critical voices if you want a fuller picture. For seekers and believers wanting the basics, it is accessible.
