A devout atheist, J.

“When my faith was in crisis, I needed evidence to convince me that Christianity was true. During that time, I read Cold-Case Christianity three times and it was instrumental in giving me confidence in the reliability of the Gospels. This new updated and re-illustrated version is even better! As a cold-case homicide detective, J. Warner Wallace applies his investigative skills to make the evidence accessible and understandable to everyone. I am so personally thankful for this book and recommend it to everyone who is open to discovering the case for Christianity.”

Alisa Childers

“Cold-Case Christianity is my go-to book for evidence that the New Testament is telling the historical truth. So how did J. Warner Wallace make my favorite book even better? He added 300 illustrations, exciting new archaeological discoveries, answered the top objections skeptics had to the first edition, and added personal reflections that will enhance your confidence in the Scriptures. Even if you own the original classic, get this brilliant book now!”

Dr. Frank Turek

“...Carefully reading and studying this book will turn you into a catalyst for change in a world desperately in need of faith. Though Jim is definitely one of a kind, the lessons taught in Cold-Case Christianity can be grasped and retold by anyone desiring to bring the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to others.”
