The Case for Christ
Lee Strobel · UECF.NET Study Companion
About this book
The Case for Christ is Lee Strobel's best-known work of Christian apologetics. A former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune and Yale Law School graduate, Strobel set out as an atheist to investigate whether the historical evidence supports the Gospels' portrait of Jesus — and whether Jesus' resurrection can withstand cross-examination. First published by Zondervan in 1998, the book became a New York Times bestseller and has helped millions of readers examine the claims of Christianity.
