If you know the book you know it's a deep diary into the evidence of Christianity and it was really the framework of a love story. In the book there's 13 world class experts on the evidence for Christianity. We couldn't do 13 experts in a movie so we teared that down to about 5. I pursed 3 streams of the evidence, the case of the witnesses, there are 90 sources that are reliable witnesses that saw Jesus at the crucifixion. The other was the evidence to the actual crucifixion. There was no hoax which would explain the empty tomb. Modern medical science proves Jesus died on the cross, not just because of the Bible but what happened to him. There's no evidence of anyone ever surviving a Roman execution that was another cinematic research that we tackled. The 3rd was the reliability of the ancient manuscripts, it's powerful evidence for the New Testament there's powerful evidence is the case of Christianity. In the end he discovered it took more faith to remain an atheist than to be a Christian.
We're a culture that has lost its marbles. We've lost our bearings on truth and there's a sense of anarchy happening and chaos around us, there's deceit. We hear about people on the news and people lying, the culture is in deep distress and a movie like "The Case for Christ," contains a cure for everything around us. As a Christian you know we have a cure for everything in the universe. Most of us hold that very tightly, we don't share it with our friends. We're afraid partly because to party my because not articulate in how we share that message and partly it's just scary. People are skeptical and we don't know how to communicate what we believe. The beauty of this film is that it does that for you, so it's an opportunity for Christian's to do Evangelism. It's an inoculation against our own doubt.
