Interesting but neither "side" was that convincing!

I enjoyed the opportunity to hear these two argue for their understanding of Jesus. I found their actual arguments weak! The Muslim scholar depended so much on the idea that the death and resurrection pf Jesus evolved over the years from Mark to John. The Christian found himself basically on the defense. My question would be: Since the
Quran says the Gospels are from God via Jesus, why wouldn't the debate endeavor to argue the understanding of the text rather than the accuracy? They both, rightly, agree we should read the texts!

It Could've Been Half as Long

In 2023, we expect everything to be concise. This debate is from 2003, and it shows. It could've been half as long, and it would've done better to capture the attention of an Audible listener. (The live audience might've appreciated the length.) The arguments are interesting. But it loses momentum halfway through with the repetition. The audio quality is bad for the question and answer section to the point it was hard to hear the questions. Beyond that, it was enjoyable, even for a non-academic.
