The Great Debate

I enjoy a good debate. Fortunately I do not live far from the next Great Debate series with Dr. James White. As of this moment I plan to attend each debate. The debates should be very interesting and educational. I live in an area populated by a very large number of Muslims. I don't know enough about their beliefs to carry on an intelligent conversation with them so perhaps after listening to the debates I will be better informed.

Here is some information on the Christians debaters:
Christian Debaters
Dr. James White is the director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, a Christian apologetics organization. He is the author of more than twenty books, a professor, an accomplished debater (having engaged in more than seventy-five moderated, public debates), and an elder of the Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church.

Professor David Wood is a teaching professor of philosophy at Fordham University, co-founder of Acts 17 Apologetics Ministry and a member of the Evangelical Philosophical Society. David, a former atheist, became a Christian after examining the historical evidence for Jesus’ resurrection. He has debated over 25 times with well-known Muslim scholars throughout the United States and England on behalf of “The Center for Religious Debate.”

Apologist Sam Shamoun is a writer and apologist for one of the world's most highly recognized apologetics website Answering Islam. Shamoun has written countless articles dealing with common issues in Christianity and Islam. He has engaged in debates nationwide as an informed apologist refuting the accusations and attacks presented by Islam against Christianity.
