Has anyone read "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel?

Question

I just did, and I've had a revelation!

Before reading this book, I was convinced that all the apologetic argument I'd read in the past - including on R&S - was just a load of biased, self-serving tripe (for what it's worth, no offence meant to those present.)

But that stuff was nothing compared to Mr Strobel's compelling arguments...I was hoping for something challenging and substantial, and instead I got nothing but logically-challenged, unsubstantiated, one-sided testimony from an endless parade of "objective" Christian scholars.

Honestly, I was hoping to learn something, instead I just had it reinforced that there is no such thing as academic theology.

Please, somebody, tell me there is a book out there somewhere that does actually discuss this stuff objectively. Really, does anyone know of a "scholarly" work which isn't just another excuse to tell me I'm going to hell if I don't see the light?

Yeah, I kinda lied, I didn't read all of it...

Yuh, I skipped the last five pages, am I allowed to speak now?

Oh, and thanks heaps Cricket, I'll check them out.

Answer 1

There are several. Ever read "Evidence That Demands a Verdict" by Josh McDowell? I thought it was very interesting. Also, just about anything by Ralph O. Muncaster or John P. Ashton, M.D. could work, since you don't like Lee Strobel. I'll get you a list.

Answer 2

Someone post this kind of question 1 year ago.But I said I still rather read Hans Christians Anderson story book.

Answer 3

ah, yeah... that book... That was difficult to burn through. I found many discrepancies through out the entirety. I don't remember if I finished it or not.

Answer 4

then i suggest you read all of it before actually posing any questions ;)
