My understanding of Strobel' method is that he picks "experts" who largely agree with the view he wants to put forward and then tosses them easy questions.
So which experts did he interview in this book ? And what were they expert in ?

Do you really think that Strobel did not research for his interviews ?
Of course he had a good idea of what arguments each interviewee would use - probably before even choosing to interview them.
What I want to know is why Strobel failed to include scientific experts in evolution, abiogenesis and cosmology ? Isn't the actual science relevant ?
And if this review is accurate we see several errors that could have been corrected:

- Well's howlers on archaeopteryx being a case in point.

I'd say that Strobel is willingly ignorant of science and that his choice of "experts" was to promote that ignorance.

Re: Good Book
Strobel didn't write The Case for Christ trying to DISprove Christianity - it's a case FOR - not a case against.
And you can't take pressure off anyine by resurrecting a dormant thread.
