Lee Strobel

solving the biggest mystery of all time

Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, Strobel looks for credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the son of God. He challenges historians and archaeologists to chase down his story. This special movie edition includes revisions and additions to the original 1998 text, and Strobel's responses to skeptics
