5.0 out of 5 stars A captivating historical and spiritual journey!

First of all, I have to say that I am a Catholic although unfortunately, not a good one.

Many years ago, I had watched the movie based on this book and it was extremely interesting but I did not go further. However, I had the opportunity to watch it again recently, and immediately afterwards I bought the book. It is captivating, not only because of the careful writing and research but also because of what I was feeling when reading it. It has helped me bolster my faith and has equipped me with very good arguments to defend it and with very good reasons to try to become a better Catholic.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone genuinely interested in getting a fair idea of why us Catholics believe what we believe.

Finally, although the research behind the book is extremely deep, I would have liked a chapter regarding the Turin Shroud. In fact, I was a surprised that this topic was not even mentioned since from my point of view, that relic would have nicely supported the arguments of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Researched and Written

I read this book because a good friend of mine asked me to. He has an incredibly strong faith and I respect that greatly about him. But I had to chuckle when I bought this on Amazon they also recommended I buy “A Case Against A Case for Christ” It made me think of the Stephen Wright joke about turning on a humidifier and a dehumidifier in the same room and letting them fight it out.

I passed on the second book and focused my attention on A Case for Christ. And I have to say I was impressed. This book is incredibly well researched but doesn’t get bogged down in minutiae. Strobel’s writing is easy to read and digest.

I’ve always said the best case for Jesus’ resurrection is that none of his disciples changed their story even as many of them met horrifying ends. You threaten to burn me at the stake and I’m pretty much denouncing anything you want me to denounce. But there are no stories in our known history, either in the Bible or otherwise, where a direct disciple changed his testimony to spare himself. And for anyone who wants to refute Jesus’ status as deity, that’s a high hurdle to clear. Strobel of course makes many other arguments for Christ, but this is, and always will be, the strongest.

In the end, one line in this book stood out to me: “As long as the existence of God is even possible, it’s possible that he acted in history by raising Jesus from the dead.”

Is the existence of God possible? Of course it is. Is it likely? Is it something I believe in? No. I don’t. And believe me, I have spent more time pondering this question than any other in my life. But for me, there’s just nothing there but man’s burning desire that this can’t be all there is. That our short time on earth can’t be all we have. But for me, it is. And that fact actually brings me joy because it forces me to seize the day and make the most of my life, rather than hoping for some eternal reward. Eternity seems like a long time anyway, especially when I struggle sometimes to get to the end of the week.

Anyway, if you are Christian and want to solidify your faith, I highly recommend this book. It will not only help you believe even more fervently but it’ll give you fodder for your next argument with a skeptic like me.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024
There is a movie with the same title and this book is very well done. Spelling out the Theologians and experts that were talked to in order to determine the existence of Jesus and how the information brings us to a conclusion . If your interested in Jesus and learning how we conclude that he existed and died for our sins then this is a good book for you.
I enjoyed it thourougly and it has inspired me to seek out Jesus and to begin my journey and study of the Bible
