comment
The Case for Christ is a 2017 film based on the real-life story of investigative journalist Lee Strobel and his conversion to Christianity. It is based somewhat on Strobel's 1998 book The Case for Christ, which investigates evidence for Jesus' miracles and resurrection, and describes the author's own journey from unbelief to faith. In the film, after a traumatic event, Lee's wife Leslie turns to the Christian faith. Lee sees this as a betrayal of their marriage and values, and sets out to disprove Christianity using his skills as a reporter.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })

Heel–Faith Turn: Although he was never a villain, Lee's newfound faith does make him a better person.

Freudian Excuse: Lee has a bad relationship with his father; this is brought up as a possible motivation for his atheism.

Diegetic Switch: While Lee is driving, his car radio starts playing "Carry On Wayward Son". We hear most of it in non-diegetic mode before it switches to diegetic mode for the last few seconds of the scene.

Da Editor: Lee's boss at the newsroom, Joe Dubois, is a downplayed example.

Easy Evangelism: Averted; Lee spends most of the film trying to disprove Christianity. The experts he interviews never try to preach at him; they simply present him with the evidence, and he is gradually convinced by it. Also, he seems rather reluctant and uncertain about his choice, at first.
