Lee Strobel first published The Case for Christ in 1998. Since then, Christian apologetics has never been the same. Strobel, a pastor when he wrote the thing, marketed his book on his reputation as a law journalist for the Chicago Tribune back in the early 70s. In the book, the first of a seemingly never ending cascade of follow ups, Strobel talks to thirteen "expert" witnesses to address questions about the historicity of Christ. In this episode, Nick and Teddi spend some time discussing the sloppy argumentation, the loaded and dizzying rhetoric, and the just plain bad research that Strobel slapped between the pages of his unfortunately best selling book. Join them as they break open the not quite air-tight case for answers to questions no one was really asking in the first place.
