Detective J. Warner Wallace listened to a pastor talk about Jesus and wondered why anyone would think Jesus was a person of interest.
Wallace was skeptical of the Bible, but he’d investigated several “no-body, missing person” cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim's body. Could the historical life and actions of Jesus be investigated in the same way?
In Person of Interest, Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity, as he carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone without relying on the New Testament manuscripts.
Creative, compelling, and fully illustrated, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers, while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament.
Join a cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus, using the same approach he also employs to solve a real murder case.
Learn how to become a good detective using an innovative and unique "'fuse' and 'fallout'" investigative strategy you can also use to examine other claims of history
Marvel at the way Jesus changed the world as you investigate why Jesus still matters today
Explore and learn how to respond to common objections to Christianity
