About Lee Strobel Series Of Books

I found the acting was good and the writing decent. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised.There are a number of well-known character actors as well as several mainstream actors including Mike Vogel, Erika Christensen, Faye Dunaway, and even Grant Goodeve from вЂњEight is EnoughвЂќ fame makes an appearance (I fear I have just dated myself by invoking the name of this popular 70вЂ™s TV show). I wasnвЂ™t sure what to expect given that many so-called вЂњChristian filmsвЂќ are plagued by mediocre acting and stilted writing. The movieвЂ™s appearance on Netflix piqued my interest, so the wife and I sat down one night to watch it. The book is an international best-seller, which is part of a series of books that have sold over 14 million copies world-wide. I was aware of the basic story behind the book, Lee Strobel was an atheist journalist who, on the heels of his wifeвЂ™s conversion to Christianity, sought to disprove Christianity.

In his effort to disprove Christianity one of StrobelвЂ™s Christian coworkers tells him that the resurrection of Christ is a key linchpinвЂ”if he can disprove this teaching, then the whole Christian faith crumbles (this echoes the apostle PaulвЂ™s similar statements, 1 Cor. She was converted after her daughter nearly died choking on a gumball. Aside from acting, writing, and fashion, the film recounts StrobelвЂ™s journey as an atheist desperate to rescue his wife from Christ. As a child of the 80вЂ™s I suddenly wondered whether my fashion choices were that embarrassing.

While such evidence is certainly useful for apologetics and evangelism, as Calvin once said, it is also useful to bolster the faith of Christians.In this vein I watched the movie a second time with my two young boys, ages 8 and 10. Few Christians, I believe, consider the historical evidence and this movie presents it in an easily understandable and persuasive manner. And while our efforts to defend the gospel must always rest on the presupposition of the authority of Scripture, at the same time we should not diminish the historical reality of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. I think few Christians are aware of the historical evidence.

True, Strobel was married to his wife before she became a Christian, but the movie captures the theological battle when people are unequally yoked. Another benefit of the movie, I believe, is that young people can see the consequences of what happens when a husband and wife do not believe the same things. My boys even expressed the desire to watch the movie again. My younger son was struggling with some doubts about the historicity of the Bible and this was an excellent tonic.
