Whenever one talks about eyewitness testimony it is also important to mention hearsay, the second hand account of eyewitness testimony, and it is interesting to me that Lee Strobel does not make this distinction in the first chapter of his book? But perhaps he makes this distinction later in his book.
The case that Lee Strobel presents is of an eyewitness testifying against several criminals. It is a case of a credible eyewitness who not only witnessed a crime, but then a second crime as the perpetrator in the first crime attempted to murder the eyewitness. This is an incredibly strong case. It is no wonder then that
his word was good enough to land the trio in prison for the rest of their lives
It is this case that is used as a backdrop for presenting eyewitnesses of Jesus.
