Outstanding

This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to know more about why someone would choose to believe in Christianity.

good as an introductory book

If you're new to the debates about the real evidence for the Biblical Christ, this is a good introductory book.

However, my expectations were to see a technical detailed analysis of the evidence for Christ. This was not exactly the case. What I found was a sequence of interviews by Lee Strobel, who claims to be an atheist at the time of the interviews, with leading academics who discuss evidence of Christ in their respective fields. Strobel does not go into great detail, but rather paints a broad brush over many different fields of academia which have some support for Christ. Strobel provides references at the end of each interview, which is helpful when I want to get more detail.

After adjusting my expectations, so that I was prepared for a broad range of ideas without getting into the technical details, I was left with just one criticism: there was not enough discussion about the evidence for opposing views by non-christians. After reading the book, I feel like I have a general idea of the evidence for Christ, but little exposure to the arguments by non-christians. It would certainly be helpful to see both sides of the argument, whether you're a Christian seeking to understand and defend your faith, or you're a truth-seeker interested in matters of faith. Of course, there are many other books which can explain the opposing arguments.
