Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity.

On account of the superficial points of agreement between Islam and Christianity, many don't see how tremendously deep the divides between them really are, and fewer still have considered the evidence for each faith. How is jihad different from the Crusades? Can we know the life of Jesus as well as the life of Muhammad? What reason is there to believe in one faith over the other, and what difference can the Gospel really make?

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I.

Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

What did Jesus teach? Distilled from years of study and lecture, affirmed by nearly a million listeners over the last 50 years, Emmet Fox's answer in The Sermon on the Mount is simple. The Bible is a "textbook of metaphysics" and the teachings of Jesus express - without dogma - a practical approach for the development of the soul and for the shaping of our lives into what we really wish them to be. For Fox, Jesus was "no sentimental dreamer, no mere dealer in empty platitudes, but the unflinching realist that only a great mystic can be".

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best seller!
Over 5 million copies sold!
Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? Former atheist and Chicago Tribune journalist Lee Strobel takes an investigative look at the evidence from the fields of science, philosophy, and history. In this revised and updated bestseller, The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools such as Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis, asking hard-hitting questions - and building a captivating case for Christ's divinity.
Strobel asks challenging questions like:
- How reliable is the New Testament?
- Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible?
- Is Jesus who he said he was?
- Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event?
Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, Strobel's tough, point-blank questions 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.
This edition includes scores of revisions and additions, including updated material on archaeological and manuscript discoveries, fresh recommendations for further study, and an interview with the author that tells dramatic stories about the book's impact, provides behind-the-scenes information, and responds to critiques of the book by skeptics.
Also available: The Case for Christ Spanish edition, kids' edition, and student edition.

Strobel hits it out of the park
The problem with apologetic work, I realize, is that invariably there can be a bit of confirmation bias.
If you're a Christian, as I am, then you naturally appreciate the way Strobel and his interviewees methodically present compelling cases and scientific evidence for Jesus' life, integrity and overall impact: but then, you went into the book expecting no less. It can be hard then to really analyze the book critically; examine it for flaws or areas where the arguments could've been made stronger.
If you're an atheist and read this book, it can be likewise be hard to open one's mind to the arguments unfolded here; not keeping an open mind to the evidence, but instead coming in with a predetermination to not believe a single word written and argue against it however possible. Maybe not every atheist reading will necessarily be so closed minded I grant, but that certainly might be a temptation.
So to both Christians and atheists and whoever reads this book, just as Strobel does, I urge you to keep an open mind and read this intelligently. Weigh the evidence presented, see if it has merit in and of itself. If so? Go where the evidence leads. If not? Do your own research and follow up on your questions; don't just immediately drop the book and walk off.
Either way, I highly recommend this book as a starting place in your intellectual journey.

Case for Christ
For many people, it’s the philosophical commitments that hold them back (for example a blind commitment to naturalism) that hold them back from an unbiased examination of the evidence for Jesus. If we look at the historical evidence with an open mind, it seems to conclusively point to Jesus.

A much needed book in a time of nonsense
Born Christian then I slowly became atheist as science became the new religion. The pandemic made a clear case on how human can manipulate data and expose whatever science feeds their narrative. Science is much welcomed but it should be guided with solid morals than Christianity can effectively provide.

I have always felt a barrier between Christ and myself. The desire to connect has always been there, but I've always had so much doubt. However, I have never taken the time to check the facts for myself. I've leaned all too heavy in my misunderstandings. This book called to me, and I'm glad I answered. It has impacted me, and I'll never be the same. For that, I am grateful.

I have the kindle book and the audio. I would read along with the narrator. The is methodically laid out. There is so much evidence that Jesus lived, died and came back to life. I'm already a believer so this book will help me when I speak with people who don't. With this information I can speak rationally and not be preachy.

Easy to follow Evangelical apologetics
If you are expecting Lee Stobel's transformation story from atheist to Christian, you'll likely be disappointed in this book. But, if you're looking for replies to common ( and some not so common) questions against Christianity, from the reliably of the New Testament to the likelihood of the resurrection, you'll find plenty to like here.
Stobel does a nice job of summarizing responses from leading Evangelical scholars in an easy to follow format. But, he does not act like a skeptic nor an investigative journalist here. He fawns over the credentials and responses of his interviewees, readily accepts the views he already agrees with (he's been a pastor for 20 years by the time conducts these interviews), denigrates the people (derisively labeled as "liberals" or "left-wing Christians," would a skeptic see these labels negatively or the already converted?), dismisses the views he doesn't, and doesn't talk to any skeptic or differing opinions or interpretations of the data. He does have tough questions for his interviews, but his one-sided reporting I hope is not indicative of the state of investigative, open-minded journalism he espouses in the subtitle of the book.

Cradle Catholic finally: wow... it really happened
Sheesh, I reconciled with my church about 15 years ago and thought I was doing pretty well, but my first thought during this book was that The Way is going to be very tedious now that I actually have no wiggle room and know it to be true after all. I am praying for Grace from the Holy Spirit to help me process this profound revelation. I know I'll do it, but it's a big leap from thinking you are a Christian to actually living like one all the time. I feel as though I am beginning all over again. Good bye, childhood, hello eternal joy!

Hollow reasoning
I was recommended this book to give the christian god another chance.
The prologue is meant to lube you up for what's to come. Mr Strobel appeals to the infallibility of the jury system and names you (that's right, you) the jury judging whether or not god the father, the son, lamb, titles, titles, the holy spirit existed. He does the good cop thing where he knows what it's like to be a skeptic. You see, he used to be one himself. And a journalist so you should trust him because he used to write what you read and believe.
The meat of the book consists of interviews with alleged experts. They are pastor emeritus, real Jesus people with master of divinity degrees that went to the university equivalent of Sunday school and are part of several dogmatic clubs related to the christian god. The author hypes them up like it's a hip hop concert with laughable accomplishments and merits. Master of divinity in new testament, fellow of the St Paul University of Biblical Baptism, quoted twice by Oprah and retweeded by the pope. Who would have thought that Christians believe in Jesus? Argument from authority.
By far the most common logical fallacy in this book is the reoccurring idea that the bible is proof rather than the claim. This makes it really hollow but the parts where he talks about crimes can be cool at times if you're into that sort of thing.
Skeptics should look elsewhere but if you're looking for a really shallow reason to turn to religion this book might get you there.

A definite read!
For those who are skeptical about the claims of Jesus or Christians, this book looks at many of the questions most people have and strives to find the truth. For those who know who Jesus was but want to gain more knowledge about the historical and factual information about his life and claims, this is also a great book. I found it easy to listen to while hearing the facts. I wondered about listening to a book that would take hours to get through but found each chapter compelling and then was ready to hear more. It will be worth your while to listen to this book no matter what you believe!
