A Journalist Investigates the Identity of the Child in the Manger

Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? And how can we know for sure? In The Case for Christmas, award-winning legal journalist Lee Strobel tells us that somewhere beyond the traditions of the holiday lies the truth.

Some say that newborn baby would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic. Still others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the divine Son of God. But who was he really?

Consulting experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy, Strobel searches out the true identity of the child in the manger, analyzing:

- Eyewitness Evidence--Can the biographies of Jesus be trusted?

- Scientific Evidence--What does archaeology reveal?

- Profile Evidence--Did Jesus fulfill the attributes of God?

- Fingerprint Evidence--Did Jesus uniquely match the identity of the Messiah?

Join Strobel as he invites you to push past the distractions of the holiday season and come into the presence of the baby who was born to change your life and rewrite your eternal destination: the greatest gift of all.
