Warner Wallace describes why it's important for Christians to "instruct their juries" about the nature of evidence, especially the nature of circumstantial evidence. Can we make a case for the reliability of the Bible or the deity of Christ, even though we no longer have access to the original eyewitnesses? What are the basic categories of evidence and how does an understanding of these categories help us make the case for Christianity? As believers, we need to be ready to help our skeptical friends assess the evidence as described in the book, Forensic Faith: A Homicide Detective Makes the Case for a More Reasonable, Evidential Christian Faith.
