The Lee Strobel Film Collection
From a critical perspective, each film directly addresses its core subject matter, delivering solid arguments for the Christian faith. Speaking with scientists and presenting scientific arguments and evidence, The Case For a Creator examines the essential systems and elements that would have needed to come together to create life on Earth as we know it. Through the examples and statistics presented, it become abundantly clear that the odds are infinitely low that everything happened by chance and more scientists are coming to the conclusion that there was an intelligent process and deliberate design behind it all. The Case For Christ tackles just what you'd imagine, the person of Jesus Christ, his ministry, miracles, and resurrection. No other spiritual leader in history has ever claimed to be the direct link to God, much less the son of God, and the experts consulted definitely provide ample food for thought around these issues. The Case For Faith rounds things out nicely by addressing the core objections against the Christian faith, from the nature of evil to the existence of a loving God.
Whether you're a student looking for a deeper overview of some of the key concepts of Christianity, someone who is casually interested in what Christianity is all about, or a believer who has questions, The Lee Strobel Film Collection has a lot to offer. There is a wealth of content beyond the features themselves, ranging from study materials and web links to additional interview content, short featurettes and even the score fromThe Case For Faith. The Case For a Creator offers a series of questions and answers about science and God and the featurettes "The Machinery of Life" and "How Did Life Begin," which take a deeper look at some of the topics discussed in the feature. The Case For Christ takes a closer look at who Jesus was in "The Uniqueness of Jesus" and "Prophecies of the Passion" examines how many prophecies from centuries before Jesus was born were fulfilled by his birth and ministry. The Case For Faith offers "Dealing With Doubt," a featurette that speaks to some of the issues that are at the root of a faith-based commitment and "The Least of These," which speaks specifically to the seeming contradiction between evil and suffering with the existence of a loving God.
