The Case for Faith Bible Study Guide Revised Edition: Investigating the Toughest Objections to Christianity

by Lee Strobel, Garry D. Poole

Overview

Does believing in Christ mean refusing to ask hard questions in the midst of doubt?

Doubt is familiar territory for Lee Strobel, the former atheist and award-winning author of books for skeptics and Christians. But he believes that faith and reason go hand in hand, and that Christianity is a defensible religion. 

In this six-session revised small group Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Strobel explores the most common emotional obstacles to faith in Christ. These include the natural inclination to wrestle with faith and doubt, the troubling presence of evil and suffering in the world, and the exclusivity of the Christian gospel. They also include this compelling question: Can I doubt and be a Christian?

Through compelling personal stories and experts testimony combined with reflection and interaction, Christians and spiritual seekers will learn how to overcome these obstacles, deepen their spiritual convictions, and find new confidence that Christianity is a reasonable faith.

Sessions include:

1. The Challenge of Faith
2. Dealing with Doubt
3. Evil and Suffering, Part 1
4. Evil and Suffering, Part 2
5. Why Is Jesus the Only Way to God?
6. The Power of Faith
