Case for Faith--Student Edition, The [Paperback]

Lee Strobel (Author), Jane Vogel (Contributor)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2002

Lee Strobel knows how important it is to find answers that ring true. With his background as an award-winning legal journalist, asking tough questions has been his business. And while his search for the truth convinced Lee that Jesus is real, it also confronted him with some particulary knotty, gut-level questions about Christianity. Why is ther suffering? Doesn't science disprove miralcles? What about hell---and the millions who've never heard of Jesus? Is God unjust? They're the kind of conundrums that can---and have---blocked people's faith. They don't have to block yours. Join Lee in a fascinating journey of discovery. You'll gain powerful insights that will reshape your understanding of the Bible. And you'll read true stories of people whose experiences demonstrate that fiath in Jesus not only make excellent sense, but a life-changing difference.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'...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

5.0 out of 5 stars Important book for all inquiring students, May 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Case for Faith--Student Edition, The (Paperback)

The Student Edition of The Case for Faith is not a dumbed-down version of the adult book by former investigative journalist Lee Strobel. Rather, this book explores the same issues that are so well dissected in the adult book and yet examines them from the perspective of a young person. It covers topics that are thoroughly relevant to all students: How can there be a loving God with so much evil in the world? How can we believe in miracles when they contradict modern science? How can we believe in a divine Creator in light of evolutionary theory? How can anyone believe Jesus is the only route to God? How can a loving God send people to hell? And how much doubts can a person have and still be a Christian? The book uses timely illustrations and examples and goes beyond sound bite answers. I enthusiastically recommend this book to young people and to youth pastors who are seeking to help students come to grips with these faith-testing issues.

This review is from: Case for Faith--Student Edition, The (Paperback)

Lee Strobel has written several good books that could be especially valuable to someone new in the Christian faith. This is a revised version of his book The Case for Faith, which goes quite nicely with his first book, The Case for Christ. In this edition of The Case for Faith, Strobel--who is a former skeptic--continues where he left off with The Case for Christ. He interviews scholars all over the country, picking their brains for answers to some of the toughest questions out there, including evil, miracles, and "oppressive" church history. I thought the novelistic style helped make the book a quick read. Teens who want to understand their Christian faith will be helped by reading this book. While it will not solve all of their dilemmas or give answers to each and every question, the information provided by Strobel will certainly help. Overall I recommend The Case for Faith for its apologetic value.

This is a concise book that can be read in less than an hour, but still packs many, many answers to reasons you may have against becoming a Christian. Already being Christian, there were two or so ideas in this book that I felt Strobel did not spend enough time on, but this book is really - in my opinion - meant to spur you on to other works that go into much more detail about certain faith topics. In all, a great book!
