The world at this time needs this kind of discussion and debate. We can disagree without resorting to sinful anger, ad hominem arguments, insults or violence.
Dr. White did an excellent job; and the Imam was very respectful and showed better knowledge of the issues than most Muslims. He had to be corrected on the common mistake that Muslims repeat that "The Council of Nicea and Constantine decided which books belong in the canon".

Canon Issues have to be constantly talked about, because:
1. Liberal scholarship constantly attacks the dates of the NT books and distorts the canon process.
2. The claims of the Roman Catholic Church put the Church over the canon, and that needs to be challenged also.
Dr. White gave the Imam 2 books on the canon by Dr. Michael J. Kruger.
