The Case Against the Case for Christ: A New Testament Scholar Refutes the Reverend Lee Strobel
Audible Audiobook– UnabridgedRobert M. Price (Author, Narrator), Secular Media Group, LLC(Publisher)
3.4 out of 5 stars 57 customer reviews
Leading New Testament scholar Robert M. Price has taken umbrage at the cavalier manner in which Rev. Lee Strobel has misrepresented the field of Bible scholarship in his book The Case for Christ. Price exposes and refutes Strobel's arguments chapter-by-chapter. In doing so, he has occasion to wipe out the entire field of Christian apologetics as summarized by Strobel. This book is a must-read for anyone bewildered by the various books published by Rev. Strobel.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent.May 11, 2018
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Wonderful point by point rebuttal of the stilted, worn out apologetic saws in Strobel’s shameless pseudo-skeptical tome. Price raises many of the same questions that arose in my mind repeatedly as I perused Strobel’s work, and he eloquently elaborates erudite counter arguments to each of the hopelessly inerrantist claims of each apologist interviewed in “The Case For Christ”, effectively laying the axe of Reason to the root of superstition and unwarranted belief that has nourished the Christian religion for two millennia. A few scattered typos prevented a five star recommendation.

A well written, well thought out, logically consistent and amply supported book akin in its thoroughness to his earlier works.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
This book totally destroys christian apologetics.The author, Price, is very knowledgeable about the topics. He's also funny and witty at times which helps keep things more interesting despite the dull topic. (the bible)
I don't see a reason fot anyone hating this book other than they're biblical literalists.

3.0 out of 5 starsSmart and thorough but not for the casual readerJune 22, 2014
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Found this book takes a lot of focus and can be difficult to read. The author does seen to be thorough but the casual reader will get lost fairly easily. Seems to target those who already are somewhat familiar on the subject.

4.0 out of 5 starsWhy should christians have all the fun?August 26, 2017
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
This book is needed. In my travels online where I might post a word or statement suggesting there isn't a god, there is usually a few who bray about Lee Strobel's books. When I say that "yes I have read them, have you read the case against the case for crhist?" they call me a troll and leave in a huff. This book has given me greater insight as an atheist and new tools to use. And shows you just how deep that rabbit hole goes that is christianity.

5.0 out of 5 starsFascinating: fact-based and loaded with informationFebruary 25, 2017
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Robert Price has written a scholarly, thorough, fact-based refutation of Strobel's book, "The Case for Christ". It is well-referenced and well organized. It is not, however, an "easy read". Price's writing is clear and concise, but he has included an enormous amount of information, which requires the reader's full attention. (This is very much in contrast to Strobel's book, which is very dumbed-down even when compared to most other books on Christian Apologetics.)
Price goes beyond a simple rebuttal of Strobel's claims, by digging deeply into the huge amount of scholarly Biblical research that has been done over the past 200-300 years. This research reveals the Bible's rich, complex, nuanced heritage, which is far more interesting - and factually defensible - than Strobel's simplistic attempts to "investigate" what he has already pre-decided to believe.

4.0 out of 5 starsLots of good readingJune 20, 2013
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Mr. Price does a really good job of skewering the opposition with withering wit, which is well deserved (imo). Theists who have read Strobels's book would do well to watch it be dismantled handily. Sadly, very few even care to see if it can stand up to scrutiny.
I remember 'The Case For Christ' as a christian and thought it to be extremely clever.
Of course, at the time (and for years later) I studiously avoided anything that would 'draw' me away from the faith.
