Read by the author.

Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? And how can we know for sure?

In this completely revised and updated edition of The Case for Christmas--reflecting the latest scholarship and research--award-winning legal journalist Lee Strobel weighs the evidence to distinguish myth from truth about what happened in Bethlehem.

What can we know about the events of Christmas morning? And, most importantly, who was born that day? Some say the newborn baby 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. But who was he really--and how can we know for sure?

Evaluating and organizing the biblical, historical, and textual evidence, Strobel searches out the true identity of the child in the manger, analyzing:

• The latest, most up-to-date scholarship and research
• The historical reliability of the accounts of Jesus's birth
• The evidence for the virgin birth
• The array of Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by the birth of Jesus
• The most common questions about the story of Christmas

Join Strobel as he invites us to push past the distractions of the holiday season and come into the presence of the baby who was born to change us and rewrite our eternal destination: the greatest gift of all.

Great summary on all topics!

Once again, no stones left unturned by a fabulous journalist. This is a fantastic summary that would be great to give someone who doubts, is curious, or someone who is faithful. Easy to read and a great apologetics reference. This author helped lead me to Christ with his Case books and I am eternally grateful.

Excellent read for the Christmas season

I’m a lifelong Christian, I have enjoyed this book immensely. This book is a gift, like The New Testament and A Christmas Carol. Excellent research and tremendous insights.

Outstanding!

Everything about this book is fabulous. Lee always does a great job and this book is another success. I am so thankful that the Lord has directed Lee’s path to help others learn more and draw closer to Jesus Christ through his words in his writings.

Outstanding!

As usual a well reasoned excellently supported argument for biblical accuracy. I would highly recommend this book to Annie skeptic.

truth of Chrismas

It brought me clarity and assurance of the plausability of an historical Jesus born a virgin birth.
