Zusammenfassung

Lee Strobel, former atheist and legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, weaves together the latest evidence from a range of brilliant scientific and philosophical minds to answer the most consequential question of all time.

"Is God real?"

More than two hundred times a second, around the world, questions about God's existence are being typed into search engines. Google alone provides nearly 4 million results to that single question.

The topic of the existence of a Creator has enormous implications on our lives, including whether or not we have free will, if there's any such thing as an afterlife, and whether or not there's any basis for human morality.

In Is God Real?, Lee Strobel—author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Case for Christ—pulls together material from his previous books to create this updated rational exploration of the proof of God's existence and the basis of our hope.  

Writing to skeptics, believers, and anyone who's ever gone through (or is going through) periods of doubt and disillusionment, Lee turns his critical mind and expert interview skills to perennial questions such as:

• If God is real, why is there so much suffering?
• How do we know which God is real?
• If God is real, why does he seem so hidden?
• How do recent scientific findings support the claim that God is real?
• If God is real, what difference does it make?  

Is God Real? is a life-changing exploration of the inquiry at the center of our being.
