Can Police Officers Use Evidence To Examine Christianity

Police officers know the importance of following the evidence—but does that same approach apply to Christianity? In this video, cold-case detective J. Warner Wallace challenges the idea that faith requires blind belief, examining how Jesus appealed to the evidence of His miracles and how eyewitness testimony helped carry His message to others. From the selection of the apostles to the accounts preserved in the New Testament, Wallace makes the case that evidence is central to Christianity, inviting officers to bring the same investigative mindset they use on the job to the claims of the Christian faith. J. Warner Wallace answers questions about Christianity in his “Think Like a Detective” series on RightNow Media, the “Netflix of Christian Bible Studies”.

For more information about the reliability of the New Testament gospels and the case for Christianity, please read Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels. This book teaches readers ten principles of cold-case investigations and applies these strategies to investigate the claims of the gospel authors. The book is accompanied by an eight-session Cold-Case Christianity DVD Set (and Participant’s Guide) to help individuals or small groups examine the evidence and make the case.
