Jumia Books The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus (Case for ... Series)  by Lee Strobel

"The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus" by Lee Strobel is an investigative journalism-style apologetic book in which Strobel, a former atheist and legal journalist, investigates the historical and scientific evidence for Jesus Christ. Prompted by his wife's Christian faith, Strobel sets out to disprove the resurrection of Jesus but ends up discovering compelling evidence that challenges his skepticism.

The book is structured around interviews with a dozen experts in fields such as biblical scholarship, archaeology, medical science, and history. Strobel examines key questions including the reliability of the New Testament manuscripts, the historical existence of Jesus, the validity of the resurrection, and whether Jesus fulfilled ancient prophecies. Experts provide evidence showing the credibility of eyewitness accounts, the early dating of manuscripts, archaeological corroboration, and the improbability of fulfilled Old Testament prophecies being due to chance.

Throughout the investigation, Strobel retains journalistic rigor, asking tough questions skeptics raise while building a case for the truth of Christianity. The book ends with Strobel's personal decision to embrace faith, finding that the cumulative evidence supports the belief in Jesus as the Son of God.
