Summary

Detective Wallace is back to show us through his new book, Person of Interest, the monumental and unparalleled impact Jesus of Nazareth has had on the entire world. But this isn’t a softball interview. Frank plays devil’s advocate with Jim to see how he responds to some tough objection’s skeptics might levy against some of his points, such as: Sure, Jesus has had a big impact, but couldn’t Christianity be based on a lie and then promoted by the Roman empire? You say Christians started science, but everyone was a Christian back then, so what’s the big deal? Aren’t science and Christianity at odds? After all, look at how the church treated Galileo! As for the book, it is truly a unique and inspiring work that helps you realize the tremendous influence of the historical Jesus, which is best explained by His resurrection from the dead. Person of Interest is wonderfully argued and illustrated (over 400 drawings). If you want to buy the book or view a sample chapter, go to www.personofinterestbook.com.
