Incidentally I would not recommend A Case for a Creator, from what I understand it gets science completely wrong (both in what science says and what it uses for its own arguments).

Having already read A Case For Christ, I can say that the author of these books gets everything completely wrong and Photon's and Trout's posts are accurate. The guy takes everything out of context and has a clear agenda.
If Lee Strobel is an atheist then I'm jesus christ himself. If he claims to be an atheist (BTW his wiki page says he's a christian) then is posing as an atheist to make his work seem legit.
Those books are nothing but christian propaganda. Nobody with any scientific background would take the Case for Christ as anything but wild speculation mixed with extreme bias. It was ridiculous beyond comprehension.
Edit: I should add. I am not meaning to attack you MoneyGuy, just the author who falsely presents the information. When I first picked up A Case for Christ I was actually looking forward to reading something that talked about the possibility of exploring the historical jesus. I guess I should have known because it was passed out by those religious fanatic groups at the U of C (the abortion protest people, pretty much the same group).
I figured it was christian propaganda but it seemed like an intriguing novel. Talk to a bunch of independent experts and write a book about it. I was hoping it would be like those Discovery Channel shows that talk about the real Exodus or the real events that occured to inspire Noah's Ark.
It wasn't. Not at all.
