You can believe because of the evidence, not in spite of it.
For the first thirty-five years of his life, J. Warner Wallace was a devout atheist.
After all, how can you believe a claim made about an event in the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence?
Then, Wallace recognized something. Christianity was similar to the "cold cases" he had solved as a homicide detective, "unsolved" cases that turned out to have enough evidence, eyewitnesses, and records to solve them.
When Wallace applied his skills as an expert detective to the claims of the New Testament, he came to a surprising understanding: the case for Christianity was as compelling as any case he had ever worked on as a detective.
