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.

Hello Mr. Wallace.
My name is Joey Williams and I am a senior at Lutheran North High School in Houston, Texas. This year in my Apologetics class we are studying apologetic resources that can be useful to us in life. We are also learning how to think critcally about the things we read and view. In your video clip, you discuss with your colleague if heaven will bring spiritual or phystical rewards. You also noted Paul’s statement that the resurrection body will be different that the physical body, “as different as seed is to plant.” Is there any other evidence in the bible that hints at physical or spiritual rewards in heaven? Do you think near death experience serve as credible evidence that heaven’s rewards may be phsyical in nature? I enjoyed listening to your video. Do you think we should spend time contemplating what heaven will be like?
Sincerely,
Joey Williams
