Few books have impacted modern Christian apologetics like The Case for Christ. Written by former atheist and award-winning investigative journalist Lee Strobel, this book walks readers through a careful, methodical examination of the claims surrounding Jesus of Nazareth. Strobel didn’t begin this journey as a believer looking to defend his faith—he began as a skeptic determined to disprove Christianity. What followed became one of the most well-known testimonies of intellectual honesty leading to genuine faith.

Approaching the question like a courtroom investigation, Strobel interviews leading scholars in the fields of history, science, philosophy, and textual criticism—many holding doctorates from institutions such as Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis. He asks the kinds of questions skeptics actually ask: How reliable is the New Testament? Is there evidence for Jesus outside the Bible? Did Jesus really claim to be God? Is the resurrection historically credible? The strength of the book is not emotional appeal, but evidence—carefully presented, clearly explained, and accessible even to readers with no academic background.

This revised and updated edition includes additional archaeological findings, manuscript discoveries, and expanded responses to common critiques raised by skeptics. Strobel’s writing style is engaging and direct, making complex topics readable without watering them down. While the book reads like an investigation, it ultimately becomes a powerful testimony to the truth of Christ and the reliability of the Christian faith.

I highly recommend The Case for Christ for skeptics honestly searching for answers, new believers looking to strengthen their foundation, and long-time believers who want to better understand why they believe what they believe. It’s a book that encourages thoughtful faith—faith that isn’t afraid of hard questions.
