Cold-Case Christianity: The Case of the Reliability of the New Testament Gospels

Self-Paced Course


The New Testament: Is it reliable? Can we trust what it says about Jesus?

Can we test the New Testament Gospels to determine if they are reliable eyewitness statements? If so, what criteria could we use to test the gospels?

Join cold-case detective J. Warner Wallace as he describes the process detectives use to determine if witnesses are reliable and applies this investigative template to the New Testament authors. 

The historic truth claims of Christianity are under attack from every direction. If ever there was a time to study the case for the eyewitness reliability of the gospels, the time is now, and Jim will help you respond to:

  • Were the Gospel writers motivated to lie about their testimony?
  • How to identify the original eyewitnesses and their immediate disciples?
  • Was there a Christian conspiracy?
  • Can you trust the Biblical evidence?
  • What was required to be included as a Gospel writer?
  • How do we know who wrote the Gospel of John?
  • Can we prove the Resurrection happened?
  • Who was the first Christian case maker?

With all the misinformation out there today, you’d be wise to be a little skeptical when someone makes an outrageous claim like the early Apostles did. The question is, what are you doing to test the evidence? Skepticism isn’t a position you can build any type of defense on, but it can be a starting place as you seek answers. As a former atheist, J. Warner Wallace has been there, and has since used his skeptical detective mind to investigate the evidence we have to test the reliability of the Gospels.

Here's what others are saying

“What happens when an atheist cop takes the same forensic skills he uses to solve the toughest crimes—homicides with a trail that’s been cold for decades—and applies them to the eyewitness testimony and circumstantial evidence for the life of Jesus of Nazareth? A fascinating new approach to the question of Gospel credibility, that’s what. Cold Case Christianity is simply the most clever and compelling defense I’ve ever read for the reliability of the New Testament record. Case closed.” Gregory Koukl President Stand to Reason, Speaker and author of Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing your Christian Convictions


“‘Cold-Case Christianity‘ reads like the fast-paced detective drama it actually is. The book is chocked full of interesting evidence and arguments, and it is unique among the literature in exhibiting a legal-reasoning approach to the evidence for and against historic Christianity. I enthusiastically endorse this great book and thank J. Warner Wallace for his excellent work.” J.P. Moreland Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Biola University and author of The God Question 

Cold-Case Christianity is one of the most insightful, interesting, and helpful books in defending the faith I have read in a long time. Whether you are a Christian or a skeptic, J. Warner Wallace will challenge you to consider the evidence through fresh eyes. I have been studying the evidence for the faith for many years, and yet Jim helped me look at the historical, scientific, and philosophical facts in a new way. I could not recommend it more.” Sean McDowell Educator, Speaker, and author of Is God Just a Human Invention?
