Who Is Jesus? A Debate Between Hamad & Anyabwile

In effort to find something to listen to while working, I stumbled across this debate on YouTube between Ahmed Hamed (speaker on Islam and comparative religion) and Thabiti Anyabwile (Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church, USA). This dialogue/debate was organised by the Muslim Student Association and Christian Fellowship Club from the University of Wollongong in Dubai. I have combined the videos into a few different groupings (4-5 per group) to make it a little easier to follow and have listed them below for your edification. The debate is around 2 hours long (as most debates are), but it is very interesting and worth your time. This is a good example of a "non-heated" debate, which can only be attributed to the amount of humility present. In fact, I was actaully shocked at how calm and relaxed this debate was! Hope you enjoy it!
