J. Warner Wallace is a cold-case detective and apologetics professor who applies the method of abductive reasoning that he uses as a detective to the resurrection in his booklet Alive.  The result is an engaging if (too) brief work of apologetics that would be ideal to give someone who is a spiritual seeker or who is just beginning to explore Christianity or who is a new Christian.  Wallace evaluates the common arguments against the resurrection of Jesus and concludes that the best evidence would suggest that Jesus really did rise from the dead.  He does assert that the supernatural must be accepted to embrace this, but that there are good reasons for believing the early church’s report that Jesus, who died on the cross, rose again.  The book is too general and brief to be considered a valuable contribution to the kind of high-level contribution to resurrection apologetics that we find in, say, N.T. Wright or William Lane Craig, but as an introduction and a primer and summary presented in a creative way from somebody who brings a unique life-experience angle to the topic it has value.
