The Case for Faith

Skeptics of Christianity are everywhere, boldly asking tough questions in order to disprove the faith. Doubt no more! Get your hands on The Case for Faith and take heart! Author Lee Strobel, a journalist, investigated the toughest objections to Christianity and found solid answers. Whatever intellectual or emotional objections one has to the Christian faith are directly refuted by Strobel's honest and thorough discoveries.

This eagerly anticipated sequel to Lee Strobel’s best-selling The Case for Christ finds the author investigating the nettlesome issues and doubts of the heart that threaten faith. Eight major topics are addressed including doubt, the problem of pain, and the existence of evil.

"Strobel’s appraoch is hard-hitting, clear, and persuasive." — Christian Research Journal



"Despite the rather heavy matters discussed, this book is easy to read. The analogies and anecdotes are very helpful in explaining a deep subject on an understandable level." — The Conservative Theological Journal



"…the book incorporates Strobel’s journalistic skills to tackle several of the most persistent objections to belief in Christ….’The Case for Faith’ is for readers who may be attracted to Jesus, but still have formidable intellectual barriers with emotional undertow inhibiting them from fully committing their lives to Christ….As one who was a spiritual skeptic for many years, Strobel relates well to those who object to the faith on emotional and intellectual grounds…." — Christian Retailing



"When Strobel interviews his subjects, he approaches the questions just as a non-believer would, and he’s not afraid to press until he gets a satisfactory answer….’The Case for Faith’ will provide the tools you need to remove…obstacles from a non-believers path to faith in Christ." — Singing News

I absolutely loved this book. For a person who has struggled with faith, I struggle no more. A lot of research was done in this book. I found it to be totally uplifting. I strongly recommend this book!

This is an incredible book. It is very thought provoking and it tackles some very tough questions about the Christian faith. I also purchased 'The Case for Christ' and 'The Case for a Creator'. I am now reading 'The Case for a Creator'. I would recommend these books to anyone who is a serious seeker of truth. I appreciate Lee Strobel's writing style and his earnestness of purpose; finding and presenting the "TRUTH". May our great God and Savior be glorified through these writings!

Strobel's series of books helps bring evidentialist apologetics to a user friendly level in a very readable manner. His interview subjects provide outstanding information filtered for a wide audience. The chapter in "Faith" with J.P. Moreland is worth the price of the book.

A great follow up from 'The Case For Christ.' I especially liked the defense of the Bible in his interview with Mr. Geisler. A must read!

This maybe my favorit of all Strobels work, because of its abiltity to do it all! Whether its defending the Bible's validity and violence, exploring scientic evidence, or proving the resurrection, this book does it in a very effective manner! A good read!

This book is a must have. It covers several very major questions regarding the faith and covers them well. It goes deep and yet is highly accessible and readable. Because each chapter is devoted to a different challenge or question, it hits the main points hard. Plus, Lee Strobel really picked the right people for the interviews. Each chapter is a gem and can be read by itself, and there are some questions that are addressed w/ in the chapters that are frequently asked questions these days that receive little attention in other apologetic works (those who have never heard the Gospel, God's vast killing in the Old Testament, the church's evil spots in history, etc.). Books and books have been written on each of the subjects in this book, but if you were going to get just one apologetics book this would be my recommendation. (It may also be good to pick up Case for Christ or More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell to cover questions regarding the gospel's trustworthiness/Jesus' deity, etc.)

This was a wonderful sequel to the Case for Christ. I read them back-to-back. After proving the authenticity of the Bible and then countering the objections to Christ has been a real blessing. I am now going to read them a second time to cement this knowledge in order to be a much better prepared witness for Christ. Lee Strobel is right. Most of us argued against Christ in order to avoid accountability to the choices we make in life.

I have just listened to the book on audio read by the author. (I have also read his previous book "Case for Christ" which also deserves a five rating.) Based upon the audio reading, this is a very well written and readable book that addresses all the questions people raise to "prove" God could not exist. In my opinion, anyone who is intellectually honest could not read this book and reject the existence of God. I will be buying multiple copies of the book for family and friends, as well as the church staff.
