Cold-Case Christianity

A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels

By: J. Warner Wallace

Narrated by: J. Warner Wallace

Length: 8 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's summary

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 listeners’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires listeners to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Definitely a Periodic Re-Read

There are a few books I like to read and listen to each year (On Guard, Tactics, etc.) and now Cold-Case Christianity. There is such a wealth of information here and I really enjoy the methodic nature of the process. Being a software engineer, it genuinely appeals to the way my mind works. I have the Audio and the written version of the book and I hope to take a stab at facilitating a group in the coming year to educate others on this topic. Loved it! Thanks.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very Good Book! Highly recommended to Christians will boost your faith and non Christians as well it will give you evidence for Christ!

Great book for all who question the authenticity of the New Testament

A great audio book experience. Our gentle author reads it himself, and this imparts a sense of real life urgency when he recounts the details of crimes he’s solved. And he discusses Jesus, the Gospel authors, and all whose stories are told in the New Testament the same way. As real people who lived, died, and mattered. And the One who transcended that.

But let me say to any non-believer who may be considering this book, it is not too preachy. And my impression at the end was that he leaves it to the reader/listener to render their own verdict. This is not Theology. He gets into all the subjects of ancient texts, archeological finds, contemporary corroboration, etc, But since he spent his career as a police officer it is discussed in a non-academic way so you don’t feel you need a PhD to follow along.

As you see, I really enjoyed this book. And I bought both the print edition and the kid’s version as gifts already. Going to try and gift an audio version too, but haven’t done that yet. If you read or listen I hope you enjoy it too.

Best book I’ve read in a while!

Mr Wallace is very knowledgeable and informative. His approach to apologetics is easy to follow and understand. Can’t wait to read his next book!

I’ve always been skeptical of religion, but these are the facts I needed to hear in order to believe

I’ve always been skeptical on religion, and if it was real or not, but this audiobook was just what I needed to hear in order to accept Jesus in my life

Nice read

I like the overall way he presents the case for Christ but I feel like there are not enough examples to correlate. I am info hungry so I prefer an overload of information, but for others I think this book if very helpful.

Well researched

Wallace makes a compelling argument, which is well researched, well worth the listen. If you would like to learn more about the compelling evidence for Christianity this is definitely a great book to add to your collection.

solid detective work

such an amazing in depth look at scripture. never have I seen the four gospels dissected and examined so thoroughly and accurately like this book does. this opens up and explains the four accounts much more clearly then they ever had been described before

Inspirational

Really enjoyed the book, narrative and reading by author. Am now listening to Forensic Faith.

Proof that the gospels are truth

This book is proof that the 4 gospels are the very eye witness testimony about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
