The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus

Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, investigates whether credible evidence supports that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God. He retraces his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith while building a case for Christ's divinity. In this revised and updated edition, Strobel interviews a dozen experts with doctorates from Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis. He examines evidence from science, philosophy, and history to address key questions: How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Was Jesus who he claimed to be? Was the resurrection an actual event? What does the evidence indicate? The book won the Gold Medallion Book Award and received two nominations for the Christian Book of the Year Award. It has sold over 5 million copies worldwide. This edition includes revisions and additions covering archaeological and manuscript discoveries, study recommendations, and an author interview discussing the book's impact and responses to skeptical critiques. Strobel's investigation combines his background as an investigative reporter with legal training to examine historical evidence about Jesus.
