The author uses a courtroom cross-examination method in answer to Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ. He addresses Strobel's points one by one, and uses the same experts Strobel consulted. One by one, he demonstrates the weakness of the arguments made by the experts, and concludes that the evidence does not support the resurrection, and may not even support the historical Jesus. The author writes in lucid prose, and includes a glossary at the front of the book for those who are new to theological works, so the reader will be able to understand words like kerygma, Parousia, and soteriology. This is a wonderful feature, even for those of us who have been reading this sort of work for a while, because it helps us to have the words solidly in our head when we begin reading. For those who have never read any theological argumentation before, it can make the book less forbidding and more user friendly. I highly recommend this book, and intend to offer it to everyone who insists on lending me any of the works of Lee Strobel. I've read Strobel; this book is a good answer to the oddly simple arguments dressed up in sophisticated clothes that tend to populate his works. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In the face of modern critical scholarship, which is steadily eroding the historical reliability of the Gospels and their presentation of Jesus, conservative writers have been making valiant attempts to re-establish confidence in the Christian record and doctrine. The most prominent of these, in popular exposure and commercial success, has been Lee Strobel, in his 1998 book 'The Case for Christ'. In that book, Lee Strobel, an ex-court journalist, conducts a series of 14 interviews with well-known conservative and evangelical scholars of the New Testament, such as Craig Blomberg, William Lane Craig and Gary Habermas, in an attempt to establish the reliability of the Gospel account and the truth of the Resurrection. Within the context of a scholarly critique, Earl Doherty, author of 'The Jesus Puzzle' takes quotations from those interviews and sets up his own dialogue with them, as though cross-examining Strobel and his witnesses in a courtroom before judge and jury. This makes for gripping reading, a strong atmosphere and an effective way to present the case in favour of a more rational and coherent view of the Christian record and the origins of Christianity. This book exposes the deficiencies, the fallacies, the selective and misleading use of evidence inherent in 'The Case for Christ', and offers more reasonable alternatives.
