Key Insights From:
The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus
By Lee Strobel
What You'll Learn:
Lee Strobel used his award-winning journalism skills to interrogate Christianity’s central claim about the resurrection of Jesus by conducting hours worth of interviews with leading New Testament historians, theologians, and philosophers. He began his project as a cynical skeptic and ended two years later with the conviction that Jesus was exactly who he claimed to be. The Case for Christ provides some of the arguments and evidence that led Strobel to judge the resurrection a reality.
Key Insights:
- The embarrassing honesty of the gospel accounts is a mark of authenticity.
- Accounts of Jesus were not after-the-fact mythical fabrications, but news flashes in terms of timing.
- Accounts outside the Bible corroborate key details of the story of Jesus.
- The fact that there was a body in the tomb—and then there wasn’t—needs explanation.
- Circumstantial evidence doesn’t “prove” the resurrection happened, but the supernatural explanation is the most compelling.
