    By Lee Strobel. Quite an interesting read. I'm only through the first 100 pages or so but it provides a lot of answers for those that think Jesus did not exist. I've also heard his books the Case for Faith and The Case for Easter (short read) are really good and thought provoking.

    I highly recommend this book for those seeking answers regarding Jesus. The author was a skeptic/non-believer and it wasn't until his wife accepted Christ that he decided to investigate Jesus further (the author is/was an investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune).

    Has anyone else read this book or his other books?

    I read it...Great read. It really lays out the evidence that Christ was who he said he was - God incarnate. He fulfilled every old testament prophecy regarding his arrival...The book gives the odds for such a person filling just a few of the prophecies. He filled them all and the odds were astronomical.

    Nut, did you buy "Message Board Humor" by Mathmajors?

    Seriously, is there a list of these prophecies? I'm going to play devil's advocate here, (no pun intended) but if Jesus had rabbinical training wouldn't he have been aware of the prophecies and had knowledge of what it took to fulfill them?

    Many of them occured after His death or were concerning what other people did. Here is a site that describes some of them:

    I've read about half of it. Some of it is very good, other parts of it leave a bit to be desired. IMHO, his other book, The Case for Faith, is much better.
