About a week after the debate, I interviewed Dr. Bernie Power for his post-debate thoughts.
Among other things, he adds an argument from divine perfection to divine tri-unity, and comments on Christian-Muslim discussions and misunderstandings.
Asked about Muslim apologists like Admed Deedat and Dr. Zakir Naik, he recommends work by Jay Smith and Sam Green.
About Jesus, Dr. Power emphasizes that we need to allow him to define himself, rather than to approach him only through unexamined assumptions. Amen to that.
Thanks to Dr. Power for a good interview.

Admittedly, I do appreciate your even-handed, dispassionate approach to interacting with those of a “disagreeable” exegesis/theology. You are a good example in general – and I am reaching for that plateau.
At the same time, I would have appreciated you pushing Powers a bit more – though I know that ideas often occur after the fact since you have no idea as to the responses in a stream of consciousness interview. I would have appreciated you pushing Powers on the notion that “Jesus can’t be “only” a man since His death was efficacious for ALL men and therefore he had to be infinite God for his death to be efficacious to that extent”. My question – which specific text is Bernie referencing to substation his assertion here….
You and I both know the answer to that…;-)
I am sure there are a few others – but that is a great start.
