The debate was sponsored by the Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture and the Campus Christian Fellowship.

This debate boils down to whether one is able to trust four inherently biased sources (written no earlier than 25 years AFTER the events they supposedly describe) as being indicators of truth. No good historian would or should- only the deluded faithful do!
The debate boils down to whether the 4 gospel accounts can be relied upon as sources of truth.
