The Case for Faith

by Lee Strobel

Lee Strobel is a Yale Law School Graduate, an award winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, and formerly, an atheist. Strobel approaches thei life of Christ as as skeptic would.

In The Case for Faith, Lee Strobel looks for answers to the toughest questions that Christians face. He travels around teh country to various Christan scholars to ask them these questions, pressing them on the issues. He offers eight common objections to the Christian faith, and records his interviews. The objections are:

• Since evil and suffering exist, a loving God cannot
• Since miracles contradict science, they cannot be true
• Evolution explains life, so God isn't needed
• God isn't worthy of worship if He kills innocent children
• It's offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God
• A loving God would enver torture people in hell
• Church history is littered with oppresion and violence
• I still have doubts, so I can't be a Christian

In his discussions, Strobel does not back down from the issues or set them up to receive a favorable answer, yet the discussions that are found in this volume are enlightening and inspiring. For anyone who has doubts or just needs a faith boost, this book is a must read. For anyone who is trying to help a friend find God, and finds themselves facing these types of questions, this book is a must read. For that matter, for just about anyone, this book is a must read.

The Editors do not advocate everything taught by the authors of the books we review. Like us, these authors are fallible humans and those who choose to read these books should measure them by the bible, the one true standard.
