As blog readers may recall, I had the privilege of debating Dr. Shabir Ally over the topic “The New Testament Picture of Jesus: Is it Accurate?” some time ago.  I composed a review of the arguments made in that debate not that long after the video became available and I now have the written and video versions of the review live.  In the video and written discussion I examine the key arguments made by Shabir Ally against the accuracy of the New Testament’s picture of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Divine-human crucified and resurrected Redeemer.  The review below deals with his key contention–namely, that the Gospels contain an evolutionary development of the Lord Jesus Christ from a merely human Muslim prophet into the Christian figure–as well as examining the miscellaneous arguments he made against the Christian position.  It also discusses the incredible censorship of arguments in favor of Scripture present at liberal and secular universities which were revealed by the ignorance of evidence that appeared at numbers of places in Dr. Ally’s argument.  I believe that the discussion will be very helpful for those that watched the debate and for anyone that engages in apologetics or evangelism at universities or other places where liberal arguments against the Bible are promulgated and received, since Dr. Ally does not just argue the way Muslims might against Scripture, but employs the same sorts of arguments atheists, agnostics, and other Biblical skeptics use; the case he makes is the one students hear against the Bible in university classrooms day in and day out all across the United States and in the rest of the world.
