There are some people who think the divinity of Jesus is merely a man-made legend or that His ressurection never happened. Then there are those who think the concepts of Christianity were derived from mythical stories. Others even believe that Jesus never lived, which is a bit peculiar when you consider the large number of people who call themselves Christian.

I just finished reading this compelling, non-fiction book that discusses the validity of the New Testament in regards to Jesus's life, death, and ressurection. The book is called The Case For Christ and it was written in 1998 by Lee Strobel. Strobel was an award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune with a journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School. The back of the book reads:

quote:

Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God?

Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools like Cambridge, Princteton, and Brandeis who are recognized authorities in their own fields.

Strobel challenges them with questions like How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event?

Strobel's tough, point-blank questions make this Gold Medallion-winning book read 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.

I ask that you please read this book with an open, inquistive mind because it is NOT biased whatsoever. Everything revealed in Strobel's investigation is pure logic and fact. Remember, Strobel was in fact an atheist prior to the time he conducted his investigation. I am challenging you to read this book and then afterwards tell me what your thoughts are. Have your thoughts changed at all about Jesus and Christianity, or do you still think it is all heavily flawed?
