Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning?

Some say he would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic, still others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the divine Son of God.

Who was he - really? And how can you know for sure?

Consulting experts on the Bible, archeology, and messianic prophecy, Lee Strobel searches out the true identity of the child in the manger. Join him as he asks the tough, pointed quetions you'd expect from an award-winning legal journalist. If Jesus really was God in the flesh, then there outht to be credible evidence, including:

eyewitness evidence - Can the biographies of Jesus be trusted?
scientific evidence - What does archaeology reveal?
profile evidence - Did Jesus fulfill the attributes of God?
fingerprint evidence - Did Jesus uniquely match the identity of the Messiah?

The Case For Christmas invites you to consider why Christmas matters in the first place. Somewhere beyond the traditions of the holiday lies the truth. It may be more compelling than you've realized. Weight the facts...and decide for yourself.

I knew that this would be a book that would give evidence for the accuracy of the Bible account of Jesus, but I didn't expect to learn as much as I did. I was really shocked by the Jewish man who thought the New Testament was an American Nazi Party manual and when he finally read it he was thinking " but this is a Jewish story; where are the Gentiles?" and they don't come into the story till Acts. I also had never known that the author of Mark had been Peter's assistant and that is how he knew so much about the life of Jesus. While I knew that Luke had been with Paul, and that Matthew and John were disciples, I didn't really give the author of Mark any thought. So I learned a lot from this little book.
