The Case for Christ movie will encourage Christians and surprise sceptics
With the film adaptation of Lee Strobel's classic The Case for Christ now in UK cinemas, Adam
Brennan explains what's on offer for both Christians and
sceptics
Based on the book of the same name, The Case for Christ movie follows Lee Strobel’s
true story from staunch atheist to believer. With a law degree from Yale,
Strobel had great job prospects and soon found himself as the legal editor of
the Chicago Tribune. This
coupled with a beautiful home and family meant the future looked bright. That
was until Lee's whole world flipped upside down. Why?
His wife, Leslie had become a Christian.
Fearing the worst for their marriage, Strobel set out to debunk the
Christian faith by investigating the alleged evidence, applying his journalistic
skills and background in law. By discrediting the Bible, he hoped to convince
his wife to leave her new found cult behind.
Much to his surprise, Strobel was confronted with highly compelling
evidence supporting the truth of the New Testament and the life, death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. All of this shook the very foundations of his
atheistic beliefs and eventually lead him to conclude, "It would have taken more
faith for me to maintain my atheism than to become a
Christian."
