Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels by J. Warner Wallace
While working as a homicide detective, the then-atheist J. Warner Wallace decided to investigate the claims that the New Testament tells a true and honest story of who Jesus is and the events of his life. He'd had plenty of experience gathering evidence and assessing it for reliability, especially for "cold cases" where the crime had been committed years before. Even with his personal bias against the supernatural, his research led him to believe that Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God, raised from the dead.
In this book, he lays out a lot of classic Christian apologetical arguments using the framing device of a cold-case investigation. With the prevalence of television forensic crime dramas, his choice makes for a very accessible text. Comparing different kinds of evidence, different motivations for witnesses and suspects, and different perspectives, Wallace makes convincing arguments that the claims of Christianity are the most reliable and most likely. The book is both enjoyable and persuasive.
Recommended.
