This work combines the history of John's times, current philosophical ideas, archaeological discoveries, and an interpretation of the writings of John, together with a study of John's development as a Christian man. It summarizes John's gospel with helpful commentary and quotations from prominent and gifted expositors. The explanation of the Gnostic heresy, which is rejected in the epistles, makes a useful contribution to one's understanding of the matters dealt with by John. John's last book, Revelation, shows that Christ is Lord, not Caesar, and that Christ is victorious, and so are they who are His. The study will be a great help to those who read it.

Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
