While reading Real Jesus, I was struck that Christianity isn’t really under attack from full-frontal, confrontational forces, but more subtle challenges that seek to weaken and undermine a believer’s faith. With this in mind, Lee Strobel investigates six modern challenges that can confuse what was once widely accepted about the central figure of the Christian faith.
Strobel, with honed, investigative journalistic techniques, explains the core issue of each challenge, examines the relevant evidence, interviews experts and responds to the commonly antagonistic question of, “Well, what about ___ ?”
Strobel has no time for speculation or unsupported assertions. Journey with him in an investigative journey that dismisses much of what passes for popular, cultural theology to the logical, factual deductions of who the real Jesus is.
