Publisher's Description
Join a cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus using the same approach he employs to solve real murder cases. Detective J. Warner Wallace was skeptical of the Bible's claims about Jesus. But he'd investigated several no-body homicide cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim's body. He wondered if the truth about the historical Jesus could be investigated in the same way. In Person of Interest, cold-case detective and bestselling author J. Warner Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity as he carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone, without relying on the New Testament. In this book, you'll: Understand like never before how Jesus—the most significant person in history—changed the world and why he still matters today. Learn how to think like a cold-case detective by using an innovative and unique "fuse and fallout" investigative strategy, which you can also use to examine other claims of history. Explore and learn how to respond to common objections to Christianity. Creative, compelling, and fully illustrated, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament gospel accounts.

“Jesus changed my life forever, but I’m not the only one he has transformed. In Person of Interest, J. Warner Wallace explains how Jesus changed the world in a way that confirmed his existence and demonstrated his deity. This book will help you understand why Jesus can change your life just as he changed mine—and just as he changed all of human history.”
“Because of my background—the many arrests and trials I experienced—evidence is of major interest to me in proving anything to be real and believable. J. Warner provides clear and convincing evidence to prove the deity of Jesus from nothing more than Jesus’s unparalleled impact on human history. Read Person of Interest and allow Jesus to change your life the way he changed mine.”
“J. Warner explores the evidence for Jesus, both circumstantial and factual. His fuses and fallouts analogy provides the most logical explanation for historical events from his well-reasoned inferences. In a way that’s as methodical as his homicide homicide investigations, J. Warner builds a compelling case for why Jesus’s significant place and contribution matter.”
“Person of Interest is exquisitely detailed in showing how prophecies about Jesus match up with the unique time in history in which Jesus appeared, setting in motion stunning changes in the world that continue to benefit us today in everything from education to science to the arts. Even the case notes at the end of the book are a gold mine.”
“the glorious gospel.”
“In Person of Interest, the imagery and unique delivery that Wallace uses make the book feel like you’re reading an intriguing mystery, while also being educated on lesser-known facts surrounding the Christian faith. I would recommend this book for all those who are new to investigating the Christian faith, as well as seasoned readers who would like to hear the evidence presented from a fresh, unique perspective.”
“J. Warner Wallace’s ability to take heavy content and break it down for others is second to none. His illustrative genius bleeds through the pages of his work, arresting readers with a special ability to connect the head and the heart. If you’re looking for a read that is both investigative and illustrative in nature, look no further! In Person of Interest, Wallace takes you on a journey you’ll never forget.”
