Timely, current and most accessible

For those interested in a book that separates fact from fiction in the current hype of Jesus makeovers "will the real Jesus stand up", then look no further. There is so much Christian-bashing in main-stream media today, along with sloppy scholarship, that it has created a torrent of misinformation, especially in so called religious documentaries. Lee's book is written in a timely and most accesible journalistic style that is both challenging and informative without being over academically stuffy. It is a joy to read and of great interest whether or not you are a Christian. At least the reader will come away better informed and scratching his or her head as to how gullible the masses have become in uncritically accepting what media pundits and left-wing extremist theologians are dishing out as true! Lee, thank you for some sanity.

One of Strobel's Best!

The Case for the Real Jesus investigates the validity to many of the modern day claims about Jesus. Lee Strobel does a great job of really getting into some of the topics that are being talked about constantly today. As someone who is currently enrolled in a History of Christianity course in a secular college, I can attest to the fact that Strobel truely does discuss the current issues in this book. The topics that are covered in this book include the various gospels that are not included in the Bible, evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, the mythologies that some are claiming the Jesus accounts originated from, and even the topic of relativism in terms of Jesus' claims. Craig Evans, Edwin Yamauchi and Paul Copan are all regarded as experts and top researchers by most in their field. The problem I could see some having with the scholars that Strobel interviews in the book is that they are all Christian Conservatives. That being said it does not change the fact that they are experts in their respective fields. I recommend this book to all Christians as I am sure that it will open up your eyes to a lot of misconceptions that Christians have about our bible, in both encouraging and disappointing ways. To those who are skeptics I still recommend reading this book. You may not accept what this book says very easily but for those who are honestly searching for truth this book will add important information to your search. Again I recommend this book to all!

Must read

So often we read of spectacular findings on the "truth" of Jesus, Christianity, the Bible from the secular world of so called academic work. Strobel takes the same approach to this work as he did in The Case for Christ, that of a skeptic. These are topics that all people of faith must understand and defend for themselves. Strobel does a good job of laying out the attacks and the academic evidence for the counter position of the side of believers. True Strobel is a believer so the skeptics will use that to try and discredit what he has well researched and complied in this work. Worth the read and purchase price.

A strong case for the facts surrounding the life of Christ

This is a thorough and very readable examination of current efforts to undermine the legitimacy of the New Testament accounts of the life of Jesus. Lee Strobel doesn't shrink from asking the hard questions about the historical and empirical basis for the integrity of these accounts and engages top researchers and thinkers in their fields in order to get to the bottom of things. And get to the bottom of things they do -- rock, solid bottom that will strengthen the believer's faith while challenging the doubter or skeptic to think deeper on level after level. An invaluable contribution to the modern scholarship about the life of Christ that draws on a wealth of serious, credible analysis. Highly recommended for anyone interested in a sound reading of the incontrovertible facts surrounding the life of Christ. Faith building and inspiring.The Case for the Real Jesus: A Journalist Investigates Current Attacks on the Identity of Christ

The Case for the Real Jesus

Fantastic book that is being passed around among my friends, as well as a few skeptics of the bible. It's well written, to the point and convincing. Highly recommend this book.
