J. Warner explains that the best historical evidence for Christianity is the cumulative case for the reliability of the Gospels, built from hundreds of details rather than a single proof. He demonstrates how expected differences in eyewitness accounts—like those found in the Gospel narratives—actually confirm their authenticity, encouraging a forensic approach that values both the variety and preservation of biblical testimony over time.

Cold Case ChristianityFor 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.
