Case for
Faith, by Lee Strobel
This Christian apologetics
book is well-known among many Christians who have sought solid answers to skeptical
questions about faith. Its author, Lee Strobel, is a former atheist and investigative journalist who became a believer in the faith after months of searching for answers to hard questions and doubts about Christianity. He uses the style of investigative journalism to carefully analyze the tough
issues skeptics have raised. His writing style is easy-to-follow and full of intrigue. The end result is a well-informed,
insightful view of the Christian faith.
Case for Faith addresses eight central questions, each the title of a chapter.
Since Evil and Suffering Exist, A Loving God Cannot
Since Miracles Contradict Science, They Cannot Be True
Evolution Explains Life, So God Isn’t Needed
God Isn’t Worthy if He Kills Innocent Children
It’s Offensive to Claim Jesus is the Only Way to God
A Loving God Would Never Torture People in Hell
Church History is Littered with Oppression and Violence
I Still Have Doubts, So I Can’t be a Christian
Strobel interviews several Christian intellectual thinkers to give his readers insightful angles on these hard-to-answer questions. His thorough, exhaustive method of examination leaves no stone unturned as he reveals paths of logic many skeptics have not considered. Each chapter extensively explores an objection and offers valid explanations for each seemingly dead-end question. He covers many issues that are relevant to the world today, from famine in Africa to the rise of relativism and pluralism in religious thought.
This is truly a valuable book for those seeking knowledge of a higher power or those curious about Christianity or religion in general. This book also is guaranteed a good read for Christians who would like to know more about their faith and how to defend it when others present arguments against it.
