Book Review of The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus

The Case for Christ:  A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus
reviewed on


While the works for the individual "interviewees" in this book have merit on their own, the premise of this book is that they are being interviewed by a hard-nosed investigative reporter. The fact is, they are being interviewed by an author who already agrees with their premises before he speaks with them, and postures as asking the hard questions, while really he is lobbing softballs. Additionally, the book fails to live up to the author's claim of investigative reporting, by refraining to interview even one person with counter claims or alternate perspectives. Overall, the book is a failure because it does not live up to the premises it claims for itself.
