Buy This Item The Case for Christ by Lionsgate Ent.  Available from Amazon  $12.99  on 10-5-2008     <p>Based on the best-selling book by the same name, a seasoned journalist chases down the biggest story in history.  </p> <p><em>The Project:</em> Determine if there's credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God. <em>The Reporter:</em> Lee Strobel, educated at Yale Law School, award-winning former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune-with a background of atheism. <em>The Experts:</em> A dozen scholars, with doctorates from Cambridge, Princeton, Brandeis, and other top-flight institutions, who are recognized authorities on Jesus. <em>The Story:</em> Retracing his own spiritual journey, Strobel cross-examines the experts with tough, point-blank questions: How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence exist for Jesus outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual historical event?</p> <p>This remarkable documentary  is like reading a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it's not fiction. It's a riveting quest for the truth about history's most compelling figure. What will your verdict be in <em>The Case for Christ</em>?</p> Reader Reviews Lee Strobel has done the Christian community-and indeed, the world, a service with this DVD. I was extremely impressed with both the content and the production values. The video is a great introduction to Christian apologetics both for the ordinary "man or woman in the pew" and the "ordinary skeptic." To claims that the film is biased, of course it is. It's an apologetic documentary after all. But it is nevertheless a balanced overview, or summary, of the evidence for the truth claims of the NT. This documentary isn't any more biased than the TV documentaries that usually air on the cable channels (A&E; THC; DSV; TLC; etc.) at Christmas and Easter which are typically aimed at a popular audience and biased against the truth claims of the NT and which usually cater to the sensational and bizarre. Strobel's DVD, should serve as a nice to counterpoint to all the quack popular scholarship out there. True, the film doesn't get too technical, however it doesn't need to. Anyone interested in delving deeper can check out the books listed in the bibliography, many of them written by the very scholars interviewed in the film. I think every church would benefit by screening this DVD for its members.
