Grossing almost $15 million, “The Case for Christ” tells the story of famed Chicago journalist Lee Strobel who put his investigative skills to work to disprove Christianity, but eventually ends up becoming convinced of its truth. The film is based on Strobel’s best-selling book with the same title which has sold over five million copies.
