Title: Not objective, and evidence is too selective
Product review: Strobel is hardly objective, having only interviewed those who already agree with him. He criticizes the Jesus Seminar, and Michael Martin, and yet he neglected to interview Martin or anyone from the Seminar. The choice of "evidences" is quite selective in this book. The more obvious and damaging contradictions in the New Testament are not even mentioned (such as how Judas died). I gave the book two stars simply because it is an easy read and because it provided the ideas and opinions (regardless of how ridiculous) of many of the "top" conservative New Testament scholars of today. I highly recommend those who have read this book to experience some true scholarship and common sense by reading Earl Doherty's "Challenging the Verdict: A Cross-Examination of Lee Strobel's 'The Case for Christ'".
