Cold Case Christianity: Black Death

As if on cue, construction workers digging a shaft in London last week uncovered a long-lost grave site. It is a burial pit with dozens of bodies from the Black Death plague of 1348.
This pre-dates the burial of King Richard by more than a hundred years.

Now an earnest examination is taking place amid the obvious fear that the incubus that destroyed half the population of Europe might still be active to do the same again!

In his book "Cold Case Christianity" Warner Wallace  spends a whole chapter dealing with the subject of RELIABLE evidence.
He deals with four types,from the weakest to the strongest.

1) Some credible evidence.
2) Preponderance of evidence
3) Clear and convincing evidence.
4) Evidence beyond reasonable doubt ( Which is required to bring a guilty verdict in a murder trial.)

In the Charterhouse Death pit it has already been established that the bodies were buried simultaneously, that they were laid in shrouds without coffins and that the carbon in the bones dated back to mid thirteen hundreds. None died in old age. In other words evidence beyond reasonable doubt that they died of the plague.


Warner Wallace asks his readers to do a similar earnest investigation concerning the death and resurrection of Christ.

As an atheistic, cold-case detective his search and conclusion changed his life. Read the Gospels,this Easter yours might be changed as well.

Jubilate.
