The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus is a book by Lee Strobel, a former atheist and legal editor at the Chicago Tribune. In the book, Strobel investigates the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, interviewing experts in various fields such as archaeology, history, and theology.

Strobel begins his investigation by examining the historical sources for the resurrection of Jesus. He looks at the four Gospels, as well as other early Christian writings, and concludes that there is strong evidence that Jesus actually rose from the dead.

Strobel then turns his attention to the scientific evidence for the resurrection. He interviews scientists who have studied the Shroud of Turin, a cloth that is believed to have been wrapped around Jesus' body after he was crucified. The Shroud bears the image of a man who appears to have been crucified, and Strobel argues that this image is consistent with the biblical account of Jesus' resurrection.

Strobel also examines the medical evidence for the resurrection. He interviews doctors who have studied the wounds of Jesus and conclude that they were consistent with crucifixion. He also looks at the evidence for Jesus' empty tomb and concludes that it is strong evidence that Jesus actually rose from the dead.

In the end, Strobel concludes that the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus is overwhelming. He argues that the historical, scientific, and medical evidence all point to the fact that Jesus actually rose from the dead.

The Case for Christ has been praised by many Christians for its thorough investigation of the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. It has also been criticized by some atheists and skeptics, who argue that Strobel's evidence is not as strong as he claims.

Despite the criticism, The Case for Christ remains a popular book among Christians and those who are interested in the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. It has been translated into over 25 languages and has sold over 4 million copies worldwide.
