The Case for Christ

The Case for Christ follows the journey of Lee Strobel, an award-winning investigative journalist and self-proclaimed atheist, as he sets out to disprove Christianity. It is based on Strobel’s book of the same name, which details his personal quest to challenge his wife’s newfound Christian faith.

The narrative unfolds as Strobel applies his journalistic and legal skills to investigate the historical evidence for Jesus Christ and the claims of his resurrection. Strobel interviews various experts, including historians, psychologists, and medical professionals, to gather evidence and analyze the credibility of Christian beliefs.

Throughout the documentary, Strobel’s investigation focuses on key aspects of Christianity, such as the reliability of the New Testament accounts, the historical evidence for Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, and the testimonies of early Christian witnesses. The film presents Strobel’s conversations with scholars and experts, who provide insights into archaeological findings, ancient manuscripts, and historical context.

As Strobel delves deeper into his research, the documentary portrays the internal struggle he faces as he confronts evidence that challenges his atheistic worldview. The film also touches on personal aspects of Strobel’s life, including his relationship with his wife and his own background, which add depth to his intellectual and spiritual journey.

The documentary culminates with Strobel’s conclusion after nearly two years of investigation. It presents his findings and the impact they had on his personal beliefs, ultimately leading to a transformation in his worldview. The film aims to present a logical and evidence-based approach to examining the claims of Christianity, offering a perspective on how an skeptic might approach questions of faith and historical evidence.
