Before examining any evidence, it's worth pausing to ask: what would it take for you to honestly investigate the claims of Jesus Christ? Strobel's opening sets the terms of the investigation — and invites you to step into the courtroom with him.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Strobel describes himself at the start of his investigation as a legal journalist and a committed atheist. What assumptions did he bring into his inquiry, and how did those assumptions both help and potentially hinder his search?
2.His wife Leslie's conversion to Christianity is what prompted Strobel's investigation. How do you think you would have reacted in his place — would you have been curious, threatened, dismissive, or something else?
3.Strobel structures the book around the legal and journalistic standards used to evaluate evidence. What are those standards, and why does he think they are the right tools to apply to historical and religious claims?
