Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? Some say he 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. Who was he---really? And how can you know for sure? Consulting experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy, Lee Strobel searches out the true identity of the child in the manger. Join him as he asks the tough, pointed questions you'd expect from an award-winning legal journalist. If Jesus really was God in the flesh, then there ought to be credible evidence, including 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? The Case for Christmas invites you to consider why Christmas matters in the first place. Somewhere beyond the traditions of the holiday lies the truth. It may be more compelling than you've realized. Weigh the facts . . . and decide for yourself.

A fascinating look into the truth behind the Christmas story The story, recorded in Luke 2:8–18, describes how an angel announced to a ragtag group of shepherds that "a Savior who is Messiah and Master" had been born in the town of David. Was this a hoax? A hallucination? Or was it the pivotal event of human history—the incarnation of the living God? Join journalist and former atheist Lee Strobel as he investigates the Christmas story. Combining material from The Case for Christ with new research, he investigates the mysterious events surrounding Christmas and asks: • Is there any credibility to the accounts about Jesus’ birth—or are they merely legends as skeptics claim? • Does history confirm a Roman census sending Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem? • Did Herod the Great try to destroy his supposed rival by ruthlessly slaughtering the infants in that rural village? The result is the perfect gift for believers that want to reaffirm their faith or seekers looking for guidance as they pursue solid answers about this miraculous occurrence.
