Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Stephen on December 28, 2012

There is an abundance of apologetics books available, many of them saying the same thing in the same way. J. Warner Wallace offers something unique as he brings in his experience as a cold-case detective on the Christian faith.

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on April 05, 2014

This is an excellent book. Of course in the spirit of complete disclosure I am a Christian so there's no real controversy here for me. If you've read The Case for Christ you have read a little of what's here but Mr. Wallace goes further and lays out a coherent case for each piece of evidence. He goes......more

Goodreads review by Bookwraiths on November 27, 2017

A homicide detective's investigation into the life, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Overall, this was an okay read. The author attempted to collect all the historical data from documented sources, summarize such, then analyze it as if he were solving a murder case. His conclusions......more

Goodreads review by Kris on August 18, 2018

Before picking this up I feared it would be too similar to Strobel's The Case for Christ, but I was pleasantly surprised. They are similar — one man using his vocational experience to evaluate Christianity — but it's written in a very different voice and style. Wallace is very grounded in his time a......more
