Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels

Written by J. Warner Wallace

Narrated by J. Warner Wallace

Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator.
 
Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity.
 
A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Reviews for Cold-Case Christianity

[Laura · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Phenomenal! Detective Wallace lays out an extremely compelling case for the reality of the resurrection of Jesus. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

[Abby Harding · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was everything I was searching for. Intellectual and evidentiary proof for the case for Jesus Christ. Believing in Jesus is not Intellectual suicide! I feel equipped to pursue more

[Jean Wan Chen · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Absolute must read for the rational thinking person who wants to take an objective look at the evidence from the point of view of a cold case detective.
Good for the already committed Christian to understand the basis for their faith.
Good for the nonChristian to examine the history to come to their own conclusion.

[Vándor, Péter · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This (audio)book is absolutely astounding. J. Warner Wallace brings his expertise as a cold case detective and applies it to determine whether or not the gospels pass as trustworthy historical accounts. An excellent read for Christians and skeptics alike.

[Karl Foxley · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Absolutely enthralling from beginning to end. I feel I am in a better position to understand my faith and also to defend my faith. I will listen to this again and recommend everyone goes through it at least twice. If you love true-crime and the methodology used to solve crimes, you'll take away a lot from reading/listening to Cold-Case Christianity.

[Sheldon Feakes · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Well worth the read, especially if you are a Christian!

[Edgar Sala · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a really good book for apologetics. It doesn’t matter if you are that much into apologetics, I think this book is really practical and for every level

[Greg Jones · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

An apologist dream. Thanking the Lord for this man and his testimony, God is so good.

[ricky · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I truly enjoyed the investigative approach. Apply your trade skills to factualize the Bible and Jesus my savior.
I appreciate how your experience in the field, the real cases, and that process supports how Bible day living is true.

Whenever I learn how our Bible can be validated, it helps me, encourages me, and gives me the certainty to walk in confidence with my belief.

I encourage everyone to study the evidence he provides and practice instill the information to others.

God Bless
