Plot summary

In 1980, Lee Strobel is an investigative reporter at the Chicago Tribune and an avowed atheist. At dinner with his pregnant wife Leslie and their daughter Alison, the girl chokes on a gumball, and a nurse named Alfie Davis comes to her aid and credits Jesus. Leslie visits Alfie and attends her church, then tells Lee she felt something more real than anything in her life. Lee trusts only facts, so he sets out to test the central claim of her new faith, the resurrection of Jesus, and sets up a research room in the Tribune basement to gather evidence against it. A religion reporter tells him the whole faith hinges on that claim. Leslie gives birth to their son Kyle while Lee questions experts about the resurrection.
