    The most compelling book I have read concerning Christianity and factualness. It is filled with eyewitness, documentary, corroborating, scientific, and rebuttal evidences, the name is "The Case For Christ" by Lee Strobel. It was written by an investigative journalist from the New York Times. It chronicles his quest to disprove Christianity. Very good read, he takes on alot of the ideas and theory about christianity that I have heard through my life.

    He was legal editor at the "Chicago Tribune". Never at the Times. He was not an investigative journalist (that sure does sound good, though).

    I've read his whole series of books and I find them all fascinating. But it's in no way an objective investigation as he claims. If it were, he would have talked to non-Christian experts as well. He basically plays the role of the atheist and 'challenges' experts in various fields (geology, etc). However, all these experts are also PhDs in Christianity and solid believers - he accepts their answers as fact and concludes they are all right.

    If you wanted to do a truly objective investigation, you'd also take those claims from the Christian scientific experts and bring it to the non-Christian ones and challenge them in the same way. He never gave any experts of this sort a chance to argue or challenge his conclusions. As such, it was not anywhere close to being objective.

    Still a very good and well-written read. Just not what it purports to be.
