Title: Propaganda (poorly) disguised as journalism
Product review: I consider myself to be a non-Christian. I was presented with this book by a family member, and was told that it was the story of a sceptical investigative reporter who set out to research Jesus, and ended up a believer himself. This is also the claim that Strobel seems to be making, but which his book does correlate.Throughout the book, Stobel merely presents the most eloquent and well-reasoned arguments for Jesus; he neglects to give ANY arguments against Christianity. This eliminates the pretence of impartiality, and shows the book to be what it is, Christian propaganda, meant to reinforce believers' faith, not convert anyone to Christianity.I gave it 2 stars because Bible study groups will likely enjoy discussing this book, since they will (wrongly) interpret it as proof for their religion.For us sceptics, it's a highly annoying and unpersuasive waste of time.
