A riveting journey through Christianity using the analytical lenses of a former atheist and L.A. County homicide detective!
Christianity, with all of its claims could easily be described as a "cold-case"; a case for which insufficient hard evidence exists to make any sound conclusions about its truth claims. However, in Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally acclaimed skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. He includes gripping stories from his career and the visual and interrogation techniques he developed while a police officer. Along the way, he uses analogy and anecdotes to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity.
Cold-Case Christianity is a unique apologetic that speaks to readers' intense interest in detective stories, and inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

About the Author:
J. Warner Wallace makes the case for a more reasonable, evidential view of the Christian faith using the skills and principles he has developed over his career as a cold-case homicide detective. He will not only examine the evidence for the reliability of the New Testament manuscripts, but will also paint a picture of the incredible impact that Jesus of Nazareth has had on history and what we could know about him even if we didn’t have any of the New Testament documents at all.
Mr. Wallace is a Dateline-featured cold-case homicide detective, popular national speaker and best-selling author. He continues to consult on cold-case investigations while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. He is also an adjunct professor of apologetics at Talbot School of Theology (Biola University) and Southern Evangelical Seminary, and a faculty member at Summit Ministries. J. Warner became a Christ-follower at the age of thirty-five after investigating the claims of the New Testament gospels using his skill set as a detective. He eventually earned a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies from Gateway Seminary.
