Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels

by J. Warner Wallace

“Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, is of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.”

the biblical definition of faith is a well-placed and reasonable inference based on evidence.

Love requires freedom. True love requires that humans have the ability to freely choose; love cannot be forced if it is to be heartfelt and real.

The problem, of course, is that people who have the freedom to love often choose to hate. That’s why freedom of this nature is so costly. A world in which people have the freedom to love and perform great acts of kindness is also a world in which people have the freedom to hate and commit great acts of evil. You cannot have one without the other.

as a society, we hold that “it is better that ten guilty persons escape … than that one innocent suffer.”
