This video digs into a big question: Was the virgin birth of Jesus a legend added later—or part of the earliest Christian claims? Drawing on investigative principles from cold-case homicide work, J. Warner Wallace explains why the Gospels are dated early, why that timing matters, and what the manuscript record actually shows about the birth narratives in Matthew and Luke.

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.
