Did Jesus die on the cross? James White vs Yusuf Ismail (plus Lydia McGrew interview)
Playback speed
The Qu’ran states that Jesus did not die on the cross, but rather ‘it was made to appear’ so. Yet, historians cite Jesus’ death by crucifixion as one of the best attested facts of the ancient world.
In an Easter weekend edition of the show Justin is joined by Christian scholar James White and Islamic scholar Yusuf Ismail as they debate the Islamic and Christian view of the crucifixion. At the end of the show, Justin also chats with Lydia McGrew, author of a new book Hidden in Plain View: Undesigned Coincidences in the Gospels and Acts.
