Investigating the Evidence for Jesus: A Journalist's Journey in The Case for Christ

Adele Rey Productions: I'm too active a person to be an avid reader (sitting still, you know), but this is a book I could not put down. Fetching, novel approach, interesting style, and able to convey the validity of biblical truths.

Edward: I have grown in my faith for the past nine months and have drawn closer to God. But whenever a sceptic asked questions about my faith, I would ramble on about something I saw on TikTok or the internet with 0 research and all bias. After watching the film I realised how I had built my knowledge of Christ on the sand (see what I did there). and after reading this book written by a former atheist/sceptic. I can firmly say that Jesus really did live, die and resurrect from the dead 3 days later. Don't believe me? read this book and you will. God bless!

Christopher Adam Vittetoe: As Michael Murphy aptly put it, “We ourselves—and not merely the truth claims—are at stake in the investigation.” … As Jesus declared, “If you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins” (John 8:24).

Keith D.: Very good read.

Gustavo Riestra R.: First of all, I have to say that I am a Catholic although unfortunately, not a good one.

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.

DESDES: Most books about religion are written by scholars and those who want to share their faith. Or, conversely, are non-believers. “The Case for Christ” is different. Author Lee Strobel is a journalist who used his investigative skills to look into the teachings of Jesus to measure their validity. Strobel is also a former atheist who talked to 14 experts and scholars who are experts in history, psychology, medicine, archaeology, and theology. He sought to examine the scientific and historical evidence of the Christian faith.

As a result of his research, Strobel now believes that Jesus was real, the Gospels are accurate, and his crucifixion happened.

Among the highlights:

• We can trust the Gospels
Craig Blomberg, a scholar of the New Testament, confirms that the gospels are based on eyewitness accounts.

• The stories of Jesus’ life have been told consistently.
Metzger, a Princeton professor specializing in the textual history of the New Testament, says the documents on which the New Testament is based date to an extremely early period in the Church and are authentic.

• Contradictions in the Bible
The author says that if the...

RB Bronkhorst: Een gedegen juridisch journalistiek onderzoek naar de historische betrouwbaarheid van het getuigenis van het Nieuwe Testament over Jezus.
De auteur interviewt de internationaal meest gezaghebbende hoogleraren en confronteert hen met prangende vragen omtrent authenticiteit, integriteit, historiciteit, methoden van overlevering, etc. en haalt daarbij, zoals een goede advocaat in de rechtbank betaamt, alles uit de kast om de Bijbel onderuit te halen of op z'n minst redenen voor gerede twijfel te vinden. Tegelijkertijd roept hij de lezers op om zelfstandig de vragen, twijfels en de geleverde bewijzen te evalueren en een oordeel te vormen.

De auteur begint aan zijn 2 jarig onderzoek als overtuigd Atheïst maar raakt door de bewijzen die hij opduikt steeds meer overtuigd van de waarheid en historiciteit van de Bijbel en eindigt als volgeling van Jezus.

Dit boek dat zich laat lezen als een novel moet je hebben gelezen voordat je de Bijbel afschrijft als gedateerd & onwaar.

Del: j'ai énormément apprécié ce livre par la force du témoignage et de la ténacité de l'auteur athée qui souhaite utiliser tous les moyens mis à sa disposition en tant que journaliste d'investigation criminelle, pour prouver à sa femme que sa foi est vaine et sans fondement.
Témoignage de conversion très percutant !

Nadia Zami: If you want to know what took this skeptic to believe in a man who walked on earth 2000 years ago . You should read this book. It touches the foundation of a Christian faith
