OPINION — An angry atheist walked into church. He was also a homicide detective. He didn't expect to leave with a case to investigate.
Detective J. Warner Wallace described himself as a vocal, angry skeptic who enjoyed challenging Christianity. When his wife, Susie, suggested attending church for their children's benefit, he agreed. Not because he believed, but because he loved his wife and children.
The pastor described Jesus as the smartest man who ever lived. Unexpectedly intrigued, Wallace opened a Bible and began examining the Gospels, just as he would an unsolved murder. His detective's instincts took over. There was much to investigate in four accounts of the same extraordinary story. He knew eyewitnesses rarely describe events in identical words.
