The Case for Christ
by Lee Strobel
This book was phenomenal, life-changing, and my new favorite piece of Christian apologetic literature.
Once I started reading, I couldn't stop; it was different from any type of non-fiction I'd ever read, not only due to Strobel's intriguing style but also because of how applicable the knowledge was to my own faith. I'd read The Case for Christ for Kids as a child, so most of the arguments weren't new, but the evidence behind them all floored me in the original. Never has my faith seemed so real or so dependable. I read the last chapters with the goofiest grin on my face as all the evidence came together and Strobel's arguments connected to form a metanarrative that backed every part of the gospels. This book has changed the way I deal with apologetics and faith; now that I know with such defendable certainty that Jesus is who he says he is, I'm no longer afraid to voice my beliefs and act upon them. I knew He was real before... but after being presented with such compelling evidence, I'm absolutely convinced.
Don't get me wrong--this book is not 100% comprehensive. He says so himself--he hasn't covered every nuance or addressed every argument. He encourages readers to look into things themselves if they doubt. This evidence demands a verdict, however, to quote another famous apologetics author. Do your research and find one for yourself; this is one fight in which you cannot choose a middle ground.
