Good Book
I will defend Lee Strobel's case in the books which he has written.
1. Lee Strobel, when writing his first book Case for Christ, was trying to disprove the things in the Bible. The sources he picked were sources that he thought would know the information in the Bible correctly and be able to answer in a logical, knowledgable way. He was not 'picking sides' but was in fact trying to get the best info on the topics available.
2. If you have not read the book, do not bash the book. You are being prejudice. Thank you.
3. The books which Lee Strobel wrote concern Christian theology and basic beliefs, and although he uses science, history, archeology, and other sources, to use these things as relevant claims to knock science is a bad idea. The initial purpose was to show Christianity wrong, instead it gave evidence for it, the purpose was not to prove science wrong.
Therefore, although the book has some evidences (scientifically) for Christianity, one must be wary to use it on this forum and must have additional evidence to support it. I hope this post also eases the tension off of Jesus freak.

Re: Good Book
ok, my bad, i didn't explain it good enough.
The investigation which Strobel went through to disprove Christianity was not intended to be published, but after he was converted he decided to publish it and that's where the name 'Case for Christ' was brought into the picture. His initial attempt was to disprove, but the product turned out to be proved.
And sorry about reviving and old thread, i didn't really notice how old it was... My apologies.
