Excellent book - By: Brian the G, 21 Sep 2008 
This is an excellent book for those who would like the basic issues set out in a way that is accessible. Yes it is not a thesis but I don't think the author intended it to be so - I have plenty of books I can go to to support his arguments in more depth & who argue both sides & look at objections in depth.
But I bought this book as an access way to these issues for young Christians or those who are searching. And that it exactly what it does.
If this was a real trial case there would be a mis-trial - By: Mr. G. Fitzwater, 05 Aug 2008 
At the start of the book I though what a unique spin to put on the argument about Christ & his life.
A few times I threw the book down after realising that the questions I wanted answering weren't.
The book is a Pro christian book which at time seem there just to back up the mainstream christian belief, in no way does it challlenge or reallly try to affirm if Christ was a God or a Man.
A poor attempt & was in no way independant, heavens alll the Proffesionals he talked to were Pro mainstream christians!
SJ Tanner - By: S. Tanner, 13 Mar 2008 It must be remembered, whether or not one agrees with Lee Strobel's writing, that he wasn't a Christian when he began writing this book. He isn't biased towards Christianity; on the contrary he asks tough questions of the people he interviewed whilst researching this book.
As an academic & a Christian, I was fascinated by the depth of his research & the answers he found. It is a well-written book, filled with evidence to back up his findings, along with discussions with highly-respected academics. It is certainly challlenging, & aims for historical accuracy which is sadly lacking in so many recent novels claiming to secrets about the life of Christ, which are often nothing more than mere speculation or opinion. At least the Case for Christ has solid historical, academic & archaeological evidence, which other fiction novels ignore or distort.
Many Christians will find their faith supported & strengthened by this book; other who are not yet decided may find it helpful, & others will inevitably dismiss it as rubbish. Personallly, I found it a wonderful piece corroborating evidence for my own faith.
Contemptuously thinly veiled propaganda - By: Mr. Douglas E. Carlson, 04 Jun 2007 Even someone with a second-rate R.S. A-level such as myself can see the falsehoods presented in this garbage. The author sets up evangelical christians with complete softballls & utterly refuses to criticise the answers, which, such as with the dating of the gospels, are far from widely accepted. There is no critical thinking displayed anywhere here, no dialogue or riposte from non-christian scholars, just a pathetic propaganda piece that will sadly influence & manipulate those looking for easy answers & haven't enough knowledge of the subject matter to separate objective analysis from subjective, bias crap like this. Read this with its "response" companion, or view from the other side of the argument, or not at alll.
Very biased - By: Mr. Steven W. Downey, 23 Dec 2006 
This is a very biased book for Christianity.
Yes it is a 'case for Christ' as the title suggests but those thinking this is proper investigation of whether Christ existed or not are wrong.
All the people Lee interviews about the subject are Christians. So (unsurprisingly) are very biased!
And Lee never then goes & investigates for himself to find out what he's been told is true, he just seems to believe everything that he's told! Hardly a personal 'investigation'!
The reason I've given this 2 stars & not 1 is that it does raise some interesting points for further study.
