The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger. Each interview is based on a simple question, concerning historical evidence (for example, "Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?"), scientific evidence, ("Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?"), and "psychiatric evidence" ("Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?"). Together, these interviews compose a case brief defending Jesus' divinity, and urging readers to reach a verdict of their own.

Hailed as "the greatest poet of the Greek middle ages," Saint Romanos the Melodist established the kontakion, or chanted sermon, as the poetic voice of the Byzantine Church. Archimandrite Ephrem Lash has selected kontakia by this sixth-century saint that retell and explore the significance of key events in the life of Jesus Christ. Through the rich interweaving of biblical imagery, we approach the Christian mystery in the company of Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, and other prophets and patriarchs as well as the people of the New Testament. Introductory essays by the translator and Professor Andrew Louth, Chair of Cultural History at Goldsmiths College, University of London, a foreword by His All-Holiness Bartholomew I the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, and eighteen original woodcuts round out this collection of classic verse.

The biggest barrier to faith is life itself. Divorce. Cancer. Infertility. Death. There are times in our lives in which God seems very far away. We don't understand His silence. We only feel the intensity of our pain and the echoing question of 'why?' The Bible declares that God is good, but can we still believe this when our lives are falling apart? In Keep Believing, Dr. Pritchard affirms what the Bible declares: that God is good and His mercy endures forever. This is true regardless of our moment-by-moment experience. God has provided comfort in our times of struggle and healing in our times of hurt through the balm of His Word. You believed in the light of day; will you still believe at midnight? Search the Scriptures with Dr. Pritchard for words of encouragement and hope. Put your confidence in the God who sorrowfully watched His Son suffer at Calvary for your benefit. Know that the same loving heavenly Father has everything completely under control. He is with you and longs to comfort you as you struggle through your hard times. Take a tell-tale look at your devotion to the Lord and His never-ending love and commitment to you in Keep Believing. You served God in the sunshine; will you now serve him in the shadows?
