The Case for the Real Jesus: A Journalist Investigates Current Attacks on the Identity of Christ
By: Lee Strobel
Has the church suppressed ancient documents that paint a more accurate picture of Jesus? Do new findings disprove the resurrection? That’s what the headlines—and prominent scholars—would have us believe. Investigative journalist Strobel disagrees. Evaluating the arguments of atheists, liberal theologians, and others, he scrutinizes the evidence—and encourages you to reach your own verdict.
Has modern scholarship debunked the traditional Christ? Has the church suppressed the truth about Jesus to advance its own agenda? What if the real Jesus is far different from the atoning Savior worshipped through the centuries?
In The Case for the Real Jesus, former award-winning legal editor Lee Strobel explores such hot-button questions as:
* Did the church suppress ancient non-biblical documents that paint a more accurate picture of Jesus than the four Gospels?
* Did the church distort the truth about Jesus by tampering with early New Testament texts?
* Do new insights and explanations finally disprove the resurrection?
* Have fresh arguments disqualified Jesus from being the Messiah?
* Did Christianity steal its core ideas from earlier mythology?
Evaluate the arguments and evidence being advanced by prominent atheists, liberal theologians, Muslim scholars, and others. Sift through expert testimony. Then reach your own verdict in The Case for the Real Jesus.
