Using a journalist's precision in gathering and presenting evidence, "The Case for Christ Study Bible" is an engaging, informative resource that motivates seekers and skeptics - as well as long-time Christians - to investigate for themselves the Bible's most compelling claims: the existence of a compassionate God, and the promise of eternal life through His Son, Jesus. Drawn from Lee Strobel's own experiences as a former atheist engaged in a thorough search for truth, the articles and notes throughout "The Case for Christ Study Bible" provide a solid explanation of where the historical and scientific evidence point - toward the existence of a compassionate Creator God and his Son, Jesus, the Savior. "The Case for Christ" notes explore Jesus' claims and deity and demonstrate that He is the Messiah. "The Case for the Bible" notes explore the character of the Bible and the extra-biblical evidence that corroborates Scripture as well as explain apparent contradictions within the Bible. "The Case for a Creator" notes highlight the wonders of creation and demonstrate how the scientific evidence points to one all-powerful Creator. "The Case for Faith" articles address questions such as, How can there be a God that would allow so much pain and suffering? and, Doesn't science prove that the world was created by chance? "The Verdict" notes provide testimonies from scholars and other Christians who have examined the evidence, discovered the reality of Jesus, and put their faith in Him. Sixty-six "Book Introductions" offer a short overview of each book. The chronology, maps, and concordance make this an excellent resource. Lee Strobel, with a journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School, was the award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and a spiritual skeptic until 1981.
