  • "In this audio download edition, abridged from the Gold Medallion Award-winning book, Lee Strobel uses the dramatic scenario of an investigative journalist pursuing his story and leads---and his experience as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune---to interview experts about the evidence for Christ from the fields of science, philosophy, and history."
  • "From college classrooms to bestselling books to the Internet, the historic picture of Jesus is under an intellectual onslaught.

  • "Can we believe in our scientific age that Jesus was really born of a virgin? Is there astronomical support for the mysterious star that led three individuals to the newly born 'king'? Does history support the Bible's claim that a Roman census sent Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem or that Herod the Great ruthlessly slaughtered the children of that rural village, seeking to destroy his supposed rival? Did Jesus match the prophetic 'fingerprint' of the Messiah? And did he manage to fulfill the attributes of God? By focusing on the 'hows' and whys' of Christmas, this warm yet journalistic book will help believers reaffirm their faith while guiding seekers as they pursue solid answers about this miraculous occurrence. The evidence is in. The verdict is up to you."@en
  • "The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger. Each interview is based on a simple question, concerning historical evidence (for example, "Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?"), scientific evidence, ("Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?"), and "psychiatric evidence" ("Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?"). Together, these interviews compose a case brief defending Jesus' divinity, and urging readers to reach a verdict of their own."@en

  • "Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? Some say he would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic.
