The Case for Christ
The Case for Christ
By: Lee Strobel
1. Would you Recommend this Book?
This is one of my most commonly recommended books, especially for young Christians who need answers for why they believe what they believe and for good faith skeptics.
2. What is the Main Point?
Strobel went on a personal journey from militant atheism to being converted to Christ largely because of seeing how conversion had changed his wife. Being a well-established journalist, Strobel attacked the claims of Christianity like he would any story, seeking actually to disprove it, but finding far more evidence than he could have imagined. In this book, Strobel establishes the pattern that almost all of his books follow, flying all over the world to interview some of the best minds inside of Christianity to ask them the hard questions. The main point is that Christianity stands up to questioning, and is not only reasonable, but the best explanation of the evidence.
3. Which Parts should I read if I’m short on Time?
This is a book where each chapter stands on its own, so look at the chapters and pick the topics that interest you most if you like.
4. Why does this book Matter?
Though most of this war has been won in my estimation, this book was on the forefront of Christian apologetics to the mainstream, showing Christianity as intellectually rigorous, and had a significant impact on the culture.
Strobel interviews all of the right people, and this book has SO much in it; it may be the most all encompassing introductory apologetics book.
5. Is this Book an “Easy-Read?” (Include Length)
Yes. 464 Pages.
6. Who is this Author and what did you think of their writing?
Strobel, as a journalist, is a wonderful writer that is a joy to read. More importantly, he asks all of the right questions with incisive precision. He asks the questions that the skeptic asks.
7. What is One Key Take-Away or Application for my life?
The part that I still think about often is how each of these expectantly hardened academicians became emotional when asked about their personal life with and love of Christ. Loving Christ with our minds isn’t first to win arguments or defend the faith, it is to know and love Christ more.
8. What was One point of Disagreement?
No disagreement, but there is plenty more to say about each chapter’s topic than he is able to cover in this book; use this as a jumping off point to delve deeper into the topics that you have the most questions about.
9. What are any other things that stood out to You?
