Post Has anyone written a piece debunking _The Case for Christ_?

Some Christian on a message board just recommended this book to me. Does anyone know of an essay debunking it? I haven't found anything on the Secular web. It's by Lee Strobel, supposedly a journalist who set out to debunk Christianity and ended up converting. I'd love to give this lady a URL to something that takes this book apart.

Thanks if you can help!

It's funny that a journalist who supposedly set out to debunk Christianity only interviewed Christian apologists.

You're thinking of The Case for Faith -- that is, unless The Case for Christ was also a series of interviews with Christian apologists.

Isn't it strange that many fundie evangelists and apologists brag about what an atheist/agnostic/infidel/pagan he/she had once been?

I've seen a fair share of evangeskeptics and fundie atheapologists brag about their previous commitment to Christianity as well.

Must make you wonder about the rest of them doesn't it? Sorry, you would know they are wrong, as do I, but how do you tell them and why are both these opposite points of view doing all the talking if both of them are wrong? Worse yet, why are they allowed to be part of our political decision making process, one must wonder.
