Strobel opens with a short anecdote from his time in the legal system, then spends the overwhelming majority of the chapter in conversation with his chosen expert. Each chapter in this section-and throughout the entirely of the book-follows a specific structure. The first part, which contains Chapters 1 through 6, is titled “Examining the Record.” In these chapters, he interviews academics who have a variety of backgrounds, but they all comment on one thing: whether the Bible is a verifiable text. To do this, he splits the book into three major sections. In order to do this, Strobel decides to interview a dozen experts in Christian theology to better understand the Bible, its teachings, the life of Christ, and whether any of those things are believable.
