As a beginner to the study of apologetics, I thought this book was pretty amazing. The author made it quite clear in the beginning that he was a skeptic on a mission to discover if Jesus Christ really is the Son of God and Savior of the world. I am thankful that this book was written by Lee Strobel, as his professional career was in journalism so he knew how to add enough flavor to the book to keep it from becoming quite dry and bogged down in straight facts. As a journalist, he covered high profile court cases and criminal investigations, so he had experience at sifting through facts and asking probing questions. The writing in this book is actually quite conversational in style, so the whole time I felt like I was right there, listening to Strobel cross-examine experts in various fields. This book was a great overview of the various topics covered by apologetics. Each chapter was relatively short and quite to the point. The version of the book that I read was copyrighted in 1998 and, based on what Strobel said in the final chapter, contained conversations that he had with various Biblical experts in the early 1980's. So the only thing I could wish for this book is that it could be updated if there has been any new research in any of the areas he visited.
