Public Inter-Faith Dialogue in Dubai with Thabiti Anyabwile

Inter-Faith Dialogue, Who is Jesus in the light of the holy Bible and the holy Quran, between the Muslim Student Association (MSA) and the Christian Fellowship Club (CFC) at the University of Wollongong in Dubai.

I came across the video listed above and have now finished watching it. Thabiti Anyabwile was invited to present for the Christian side and did a fine job. From what I have read, which has been brief, Bro Anyabwile is a converted Muslim. He showed great familiarity with the Qu'ran as he presented his arguments and special care when answering questions about the Bible.

The Muslim representative, I did not get the name, did an impressive job as well. I've never had the opportunity to hear a Muslim speak about his faith, but this was amazing. I was shamed by his having memorized, not only passages from the Qu'ran and Bible in Hebrew, Arabic, Greek and English, but he also gave precise chapter and verse references. This is a young man and one who has given himself completely to his religion.

The Muslim student panel seemed to have done their homework in preparing questions, and the Christian student panel didn't seem to know what to say. This was a bit embarrassing. However, the Lord gave Bro Anyabwile numerous opportunities to give solid, clear answers to some hard questions. He also took advantage of many opportunities to share the glorious Gospel. Praise the Lord!

I hope to watch this again. It's about 2.5 hours long, but very worthwhile.
