J. Warner Wallace

Cold-Case Christianity

Cold-Case Christianity by J. Warner Wallace invites readers to approach the claims of the New Testament the same way a seasoned homicide detective approaches an unsolved murder: with rigorous logic, careful evaluation of evidence, and a willingness to follow the facts wherever they lead. Wallace, a former atheist and Los Angeles County cold-case detective, argues that Christianity is not a matter of blind faith but of well-reasoned inference to the best explanation. Using the specialized tools of criminal investigation — how to evaluate eyewitness testimony, how to detect the marks of an eyewitness account, how to weigh circumstantial evidence, and how to identify when a "coincidence" becomes a pattern — Wallace makes the case that the Gospel accounts are historically reliable and that the Resurrection is the most reasonable explanation of the available evidence.
