The Case for Christmas

Says Lee Strobel, the author of The Case for Christmas: Who was in the manger? Even after two millennia, controversy continues to swirl around the Christmas child. 'Scholarly debate is intensifying over who Jesus actually was: divine, human, or both?' said a recent article in The Chicago Tribune. 'Jesus has been portrayed in a burst of books as, among other things, a Cynic philosopher, an apocalyptic prophet, a zealot, a rabbi, a Pharisee, a feminist, a radical egalitarian, and a postmodern social critic.' Like countless other children, I listened with rapt fascination each year to the traditional Bible story about Christmas. But as I matured, skepticism set in. I concluded that not only is Santa Claus merely a feel-good fable, but that the entire Christmas tale was itself built on a flimsy foundation of wishful thinking. All of that changed, however, after I took a cue from one of the most famous Bible passages about Christmas. The story, recorded in Luke 2:8-18, describes how an angel announced to a ragtag group of sheepherders that 'a Savior who is Messiah and Master' had been born in David's town. Was this a hoax? A hallucination? Or was it the pivotal event of human history -- the incarnation of the Living God? The sheepherders were determined to get to the bottom of the matter. 'Let's get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can,' they said, 'and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us.' They left, running, to personally investigate the evidence for themselves. Two thousand years later, challenged by my agnostic wife's conversion to Christianity, I also undertook an urgent mission to determine the true identity of the child in the manger. Through interviews with scholars and other experts, I sought to resolve the question best posed by Jesus himself: 'Who do you say that I am?' The Case for Christmas retraces and expands upon my journey by delving into the roots of this most cherished holiday. Can we believe in our scientific age that Jesus was really born of a virgin? Is there astronomical support for the mysterious star that led three individuals to the newly born 'king'? Does history support the Bible's claim that a Roman census sent Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem or that Herod the Great ruthlessly slaughtered the children of that rural village, seeking to destroy his supposed rival? Did Jesus match the prophetic 'fingerprint' of the Messiah? And did he manage to fulfill the attributes of God? By focusing on the 'hows' and whys' of Christmas, this warm yet journalistic book will help believers reaffirm their faith while guiding seekers as they pursue solid answers about this miraculous occurrence. The evidence is in. The verdict is up to you.

Fresh Power

Pastor Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church has taught the people of his church about believing in God and his mighty power for their present-day lives and the mission of their church. He continued that teaching nationally in his best-selling books, Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire and Fresh Faith, which told about the transforming power of God's love to convert prostitutes, addicts, the homeless, black people, white people, professional people, and working people. Now Cymbala continues to spread the word about the power of God's Holy Spirit in the lives of people who seek Him. Fresh faith is available to His church as God's people desire the Holy Spirit's constant infilling. Cymbala's newest book talks about what it really means to be Spirit filled, both as individuals and as the church. The Book of Acts is the basis for his study as Cymbala delves into what it was like for Christians back in the first century---and what it can be like for them today. The first century church believed in God's Word, in the constant infilling of His Spirit, and in the clear and direct responses of obedience to the scripture which defined the norm for their daily and spiritual lives. Cymbala shows that same life in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit is available to us today for pastors, leaders, and lay people who are longing for revival.
