A Cold Case Detective Tried To Break the Gospels… and Got Stuck With Jesus

About this sermon

This video explores how a cold-case detective reads the Gospels the same way he reads suspect and witness statements—and why that process left him “stuck with Jesus.” Drawing on years in law enforcement, J. Warner Wallace explains how forensic statement analysis helps test whether accounts are truthful, and how Luke’s careful interviews with eyewitnesses function like a detective’s supplemental report rather than a secondhand legend. In this conversation, you’ll hear how: • Luke builds his Gospel by talking directly with those who knew Jesus, much like detectives interview witnesses and then write formal reports. • Techniques used to catch suspects in modern investigations—down to the adjectives and adverbs they choose—can also be applied to the Gospel accounts. • When you test the words of the New Testament this way, you are forced to confront a real person who claimed to be God, worked miracles, and rose from the dead—and then decide what to do with Him. 📖 Go deeper into the investigative case for the reliability of the Gospels: Cold Case Christianity by J.
