The Case for Faith: A Journalist Investigates the Toughest Objections to Christianity (Case for ... Series) by Lee Strobel

This timeless, compelling, and thought-provoking book on the Christian faith, now updated, includes two all-new chapters, a current list of recommended resources for further study, and a new discussion guide. In The Case for Faith, bestselling author, journalist, and former atheist Lee Strobel turns his investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief in God--the eight "heart barriers" to faith: "Since evil and suffering exist, a loving God cannot" "Since miracles contradict science, they cannot be true" "Evolution explains life, so God isn't needed" "God isn't worthy of worship if he kills innocent children" "It's offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God" "A loving God would never torture people in hell" "Church history is littered with oppression and violence" "I still have doubts, so I can't be a Christian" This bestselling book is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with difficult questions standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in defending their faith to skeptical friends, or during the hardest of times, when they have to defend their faith to themselves in moments of doubt.

From the Publisher The Big Eight Objections to Christianity Since Evil and Suffering Exist, a Loving God Cannot Since Miracles Contradict Science, They Cannot Be True Evolution Explains Life, So God Isn’t Needed God Isn’t Worthy of Worship If He Kills Innocent Children It’s Offensive to Claim Jesus Is the Only Way to God A Loving God Would Never Send People to Hell Church History Is Littered with Oppression and Violence I Still Have Doubts, So I Can’t Be a Christian What Is Faith? Faith isn’t about having perfect and complete answers to every single one of “The Big Eight” objections. After all, we don’t demand that level of conclusive proof in any other area of life. The point is that we certainly do have sufficient evidence about God on which to act. And in the end, that’s the issue. Faith is about a choice, a step of the will, a decision to want to know God personally. It’s saying, “I believe. Please help me with my unbelief!” As Dallas Willard said, “It’s the person who wants to know God that God reveals himself to.” Or as Lynn Anderson had told me, “When you scratch below the surface, there’s either a will to believe or there’s a will not to believe. That’s the core of it.” After spending a year investigating “The Big Eight” objections, I remained utterly convinced that the most rational and logical step people can take is to invest their faith in Jesus of Nazareth. —Lee Strobel WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING MARK MITTELBERG, bestselling author of Contagious Faith and The Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask (with Answers) “This is nothing short of a masterpiece of apologetics! Highly recommended for Christians and for anyone who is spiritually curious.” JERRY SITTSER, professor of theology, senior fellow in the Office of Church Engagement, Whitworth College, and author of A Grace Disguised “Lee Strobel has given both believers and skeptics alike a gift in this book. He does not avoid asking the most difficult questions imaginable—questions about God and suffering, about divine judgment and hell, about injustice, and about the exclusivity of Christ.” LUIS PALAU, president, Luis Palau Evangelistic Association “Everyone—seekers, doubters, fervent believers—benefits when Lee Strobel hits the road in search of answers, as he does again in The Case for Faith. In the course of his probing interviews, some of the toughest intellectual obstacles to faith fall away.” Seeing the Supernatural: Investigating Angels, Demons, Mystical Dreams, Near-...
