The Case for Christ!
Lee Strobel author of “Case for Christ” is an investigative journalist with a legal editing background. Lee’s sole purpose for investigating Christ’s existence was motivated to prove to his born-again wife that her belief is false. Lee becomes overwhelmed by his wife’s born again transformative lifestyle, her conversion and new way of life as a Christian concerned him, even though her personality etc was much better, his generalisation was his wife will soon have an appearance, dressing and lifestyle that is boring as associated to Christians, and this might cause him to lose attraction for her and they will no longer have a fun filled life. As an atheist, Lee notices changes in his wife’s conduct and nature and it concerned him, how can God who does not exist transform his wife. In a quest to find out the real source of his wife’s transformation He uses his investigative experience to track down the evidence for Christ. Lee interviews the best Scholars to confirm evidence of the existence of Christ. Using his legal affairs journalistic experience investigates circumstantial evidence, archaeological evidence, scientific evidence, rebuttal evidence to name a few investigative methods Lees applied to verify the case for Christ, he used evidence that one would apply in courtrooms. Leslie(wife) Stroebel’s post conversion transformed life described by Lee:
I had married the one Leslie, the carefree Leslie, the risk taking Leslie - and now I feared she was going to turn into some sort of sexually repressed prude who would trade our upwardly mobile lifestyle for all-night prayer vigils and volunteer in grimy soup kitchens...Instead I was pleasantly surprised, even fascinated – by the fundamental changes in her character, her integrity, and her personal confidence (Stroebel L 16).
