Someone needs to post some examples of atheist arguments against Case For Christ, and this article hardly meets the quality level of the nonreligious articles. Something on the order of the Lee Strobel page would work.

The criticisms need to have been published elsewhere - so far it looks like the criticisms of a single editor, so I'm going to delete them Leon 01:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

This article seems byast against Christianity.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.156.166.151 (talkcontribs).

As it stood, this article read like a blurb for the book and an uncritical summary of the book's content. While this is not the place for a critical response to the book's contentions, neither is it the place for uncritical endorsement of same. Accordingly, I've changed the two specific fragments which I consider inappropriate in an encyclopedia entry. In order to balance the four positive links given, I've added a link to an unfavourable analysis of the book.

  • "whose replies seek to refute" - It is by no means universally or even most commonly accepted that they prove it false or incorrect"
  • "The interviews and Strobel's commentary provide objective and scientific answers - favorable to Christianity - to many questions..." - The interviewees are not objective, and the scientific method is not in evidence. Patty 16:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
