ReThink Conference
2017-04-21 - 2017-04-22 | Briarwood Presbyterian, 2200 Briarwood Way, Vestavia , AL, 35243, United States
An outspoken atheist for much of his life, cold case detective J. Warner Wallace was familiar with two types of Christians as a young adult: fellow cops who had an evidential approach to their work but had no idea evidentially why Christianity was true, and the apologetic criminals he hauled off to jail. He wanted nothing to do with faith until age 35, when he decided to put his detective skills to work on the New Testament accounts of the life of Christ. Now a Christian apologist, blogger and best-selling author, Wallace will speak at the ReThink Apologetics Student Conference.
