Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Atheist-turned-Christian Strobel, with four Gold Medallions and other awards, focuses on rediscovering the real Jesus, whose identity and message have come under attack in recent years. He addresses six major challenges and claims: that a different Jesus is seen in ancient documents that seem as credible as the four canonical gospels; that tampering by the church has damaged the Bible's portrayal of Jesus; that new explanations refute Jesus' resurrection; that Christianity copied pagan religions regarding Jesus; that Jesus didn't fulfill messianic prophecies; and that contemporary people should be able to choose what to believe about Jesus. As with his previous books, Strobel attacks the issues as an investigative journalist, though one with a clear agenda. He searches out experts (including Craig A. Evans and Michael Licona) to refute each objection, offering readers top evangelical scholarship revealed in everyday language while challenging the claims of liberal writers like John Shelby Spong, Bart Ehrman and others. In the end, he says, none of these seemingly daunting challenges turned out to be close calls... they were systematically dismantled by scholars... with facts, logic and evidence. Evangelical readers will come away with deeper understanding of the various arguments about Jesus. (Sept.)

Review
'I am two-thirds through your new book. It has to be the best one to date. It is very, very interesting and well-written and it is brimming with important arguments, facts, and analyses. I don't know if you heard, but in the last issue of Christianity Today, I wrote a brief piece listing my top 5 apologetics books, and The Case for Christ was one of them. I'm afraid that I'd have to list your new book if I had it to do over again. The timing for its release could not have been better given the current onslaught of critical books. Yours is first-rate stuff. Thanks for being who you are.' -- J. P. Moreland, Professor, PhD, distinguished professor of philosophy, Talbot School of Theology <br><br>|Atheist-turned-Christian Strobel, with four Gold Medallions and other awards, focuses on rediscovering the 'real' Jesus, whose identity and message have come under attack in recent years.

From the Back Cover
Has modern scholarship debunked the traditional Christ? Has the church suppressed the truth about Jesus to advance its own agenda? What if the real Jesus is far different from the atoning Savior worshipped through the centuries? In The Case for the Real Jesus, former award-winning legal editor Lee Strobel explores such hot-button questions as:• Did the church suppress ancient non-biblical documents that paint a more accurate picture of Jesus than the four Gospels?• Did the church distort the truth about Jesus by tampering with early New Testament texts?• Do new insights and explanations finally disprove the resurrection?• Have fresh arguments disqualified Jesus from being the Messiah?• Did Christianity steal its core ideas from earlier mythology?Evaluate the arguments and evidence being advanced by prominent atheists, liberal theologians, Muslim scholars, and others. Sift through expert testimony. Then reach your own verdict in The Case for the Real Jesus.
