The article about %%Keyword%%, which is currently a popular topic of Book everywhere, Is commanding substantial observance, isn’t it? Today’s date, let’s explore some The Case for Christ that you may not know about in this article on Camille Di Maio!

The readers’ evaluation of the article The Case for Christ

As with any religious book, objectivity is impossible (since religion, by loose definition, is subjective experience of that which is unproven); so here’s my subjective opinion as a Christian.

Non-believersIf you are a n, you’re going to fall into one of three general groups: a (and that fourth most special group made up of all the people who just refuse to be grouped by a small-minded Christian, dammit 🙂 ).

If you are actually a member of that fourth group, I’m gonna call you an a (basically, someone who d and wants it all snuffed out). If you are a member of this group, please don’t read this book or the rest of this review. The book will just make you angry because it’s completely biased against everything that makes sense in the world. If you read it, or my review, you’ll just be confirmed in your anger, which serves no purpose. So go home, you’re right, it’s a book written by a man who used to hate Jesus before we tricked him into believing, and this review is by another blank-eyed drone as well.

If you are an a, then this is not a book that will entertain you, because it is biased FOR Christ. I have one (ONE) friend who is an ACTUAL atheist … a person who has no relationship with the question of God (a-theist as opposed to anti-theist) … she just d and she wouldn’t be bothered to read this book any more than I would be bothered to read a treatise on corduroy pants (I’m an a-corduroyist, I just don’t care). Go read the phone book or something, it will interest you just as much.

If you’re an a, this book could actually interest you. It is written by a relatively well-educated (Yale, I believe) and erudite (Legal Editor of the Chicago Tribune) man who was investigating his relationship with God and used the tools and training of legal forensics to challenge the authenticity of Christ. As you can guess from the title, you know how that investigation turned out; but the journey is enlightening in regards to many of the fallacious suppositions presented by disbelievers — and I promise you that this book won’t “strike you Christian” if you read it. I’d suggest reviewing the chapter headings and see if that whets your appetite. If so, enjoy it, it’s short and interesting. If not, God be with you, thanks for reading my review.

If you are a s, by which I mean someone who is beginning to realize that, whoa, this Jesus topic has legs of its own and I’m not sure what’s happening in my life but it might be cool (is He like r real?) — I’d suggest that you read this book with a Christian friend, perhaps even a Pastor or Youth Pastor. It’s got a lot of great conversation starters, and it doesn’t propose any ideas that are dramatically challenging if reviewed with an open and willing heart. If you can’t find anyone else, then maybe you’re reading this review for a reason – ping me and maybe we’ll read it together.

ChristiansIf you are a C, TCFC is a good book to offer a concise list of rebuttals for common arguments against Christ’s authenticity (it’s the case FOR Christ, as in the legal DEFENSE). It can be used as a conversation facilitator with folks who are seeking something Spiritual, and often as a decent structural underpinning for the initial process of coming to the Lord.

Most Christians who love this book tend to love it because it represents a good set of responses to some of the tougher questions raised by “arguers.” It helps avoid personal conflict and gives a Christian the opportunity to say “here, read this book”, thus taking the heat off of the way you dress, or how you voted in last year’s election. It allows Christians to show some desire to share the Spiritual Love of God that we all enjoy without having to debate and argue directly with the very person with whom we were originally trying to share our Joy (presumably a friend).

That’s its purpose. It is not a goad to trick smart people into believing mythology, or an attack on “the left” from a sneaky author — it’s overtly titled the case FOR Christ, and it’s that — one side of a limited debate based upon a FEW questions that often confound Christians and Spiritual seekers about Christ.

Everything else is noise. This is a book that, like religion, involves personal opinion — and just as no amount of yelling or screaming is going to change whether you do or don’t like chocolate ice-cream, no amount of screaming or yelling is going to make people change their feelings about this book or its Topic.

Changing subjective opinions can only be a shared process of Love based on trust, and website reviews are a stark medium for sharing words of Love on any subject, wouldn’t you say?
