Easter is the most important Christian festival of the year, commemorating Jesus’s death and resurrection, events presented in the Bible as the most significant in world history. This bold claim challenges us all to look into what happened that first Easter almost 2000 years ago and make up our own mind.

One man who took the trouble to do just that was an American journalist called Lee Strobel ,who wrote a best-selling book , The Case for Christ, about his journey from atheism to Christian faith.Strobel was a journalist for the Chicago Tribune, covering murder trials when his wife became a Christian. He was so intrigued about the difference this made to her life and demeanor that he set out to look into the validity of the Christian faith for himself. With his eye for establishing the truth “beyond reasonable doubt,” Strobel submitted the evidence for the Christian faith to a robust trial. He spoke to leading historical and medical experts in his quest to establish whether a rational person can really believe the claims in the Bible that Jesus was the Son of God, died on a Roman cross and three days later rose from death. In short readable chapters Strobel recounts how the accumulating evidence convinced him that the truth behind Easter really is as Christians such as your neighbours at St Leonard’s Church believe it to be.

Why not read the book yourself and consider the evidence behind the Easter story?
