The Case for Christmas
By Lee Strobel
The author of the book The Case for Christmas is a former investigative journalist and atheist. His investigations into Christ have resulted in his becoming a Christian because of the proofs he uncovered. The Case for Christmas is part of a series of books Strobel has written delving into historical and scientific evidence concerning the Bible. In this case, he examines the virgin birth, the Gospel recounting of the Christmas story, December 25 as the date of the birth of Christ, the name Emmanuel, prophecy, and other pertinent topics. His research includes quotes from many authors in the field of Christian theology and from the Bible itself. I was not particularly comfortable with his use of other scholars’ opinions as a type of proof even when I agreed with them. When the author obtained actual historical data or sourced information from the Bible, I was more comfortable with his research. Overall, I found this book an interesting one for the Christmas season. I enjoyed the author’s reading of The Case for Christmas.

I haven’t heard him preach, but I can imagine based on his recent video study on this book.
