About this audiobook

Is there credible proof that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? In The Case for Christ,Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and New York Times bestselling author, retraces his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith and builds a captivating case for Christ's divinity.

In this revised and updated edition of The Case for Christ, Strobel cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools such as Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis, asking hard-hitting questions--and taking a deeper look at the evidence from the fields of science, philosophy, and history.

In his comprehensive investigation, Strobel doesn't shy away from challenging questions, including:

• 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?
• What does all of the evidence point to--and what does it mean today?

Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, The Case for Christ has been adapted into a major motion picture and has now sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

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.

Strobel's thorough examination reads 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. Discover The Case for Christ today.

Praise for The Case for Christ:

"Nobody knows how to sift truth from fiction like an experienced investigative reporter, or to argue a case like someone trained at Yale Law School. Lee Strobel brings both qualifications to this remarkable book. In addition to his own tremendous testimony as atheist-turned-Christian, the author marshals the irrefutable depositions of recognized "expert witnesses" to build his ironclad case for Jesus Christ. The Case for Christ sets a new standard among existing contemporary apologetics."

Ratings and reviews

One of my religious friends asked I read/listen to this book. I tried and made it about a third of the way through. The repetitive nature of the interviews and the fact he appeared to only interview biblical scholars (no way they're biased right?)made me wonder if I was wasting my time. I went a read a few synopses and various reviews to find the rest of the book is basically the same stuff over and over. If this is the best theists can offer up to support their argument for a god, then I'm still unsure how many religions exist today.

Watched the movie and now got the book for my study on the subject of Christian Apologetics. I plan on starting a ministry that will have a creation museum. I want to have in the museum evidence Jesus life death and resurrection as well as evidence creation. I don't want to just show how there must be a creator but who the creator is and which is the one true God and this book His helpful in my studies for this subject. So if you are looking to find out who is Jesus true is or looking to strengthen you faith this book is a good book to help you with you research as well as Evidence That Demands A Verdict. we can get to know the one true God and we don't have to take things on blind faith but know that our faith is back up by evidence.

Just purchased the audio book as I prefer to listen before and during sleep. It is by far one if the vest written and captivating books.By coincidence after reading about Jesus bleeding/sweating blood and flogging I caught a program in television the same night. The narrator who is also the author delivers no less than an extraordinary journey into the compelling case for Christi. With everything happening in the world today including conspiracies revolving around the COVID-19 Pandemic our faith is tested to limits. This solidly well written book will, without a doubt ground your faith and trust in the creator of life and first born of the dead. Jesus Christ
