Must Watch and Read
October 18, 2006 Posted by Roger Overton
Jay Smith is a brilliant evangelist in the UK. He works with Answering-Islam.org and teaches weekly at the Speaker's Corner in London (a public forum for dialogue). He's now making great apologetic use of YouTube technology. Here's his explanation:
Corner,
approached me with the possibility of filming an entire series of
public
challenges to Islam, as well as rebuttals to their challenges
of
Christianity, and then housing them on 'YouTube', where they could
be
used to engage Muslims publicly, as well as employed by Christians
who
need answers to some of the more current challenges we are
facing.
We decided to call these short videos 'Pfander Films', in memory
of the
great CMS debater of the 19th century, Dr. Carl Pfander.
I
filmed my first 10 episodes (from 1 – 10 minutes each) on Thursday,
and the
first three have now been put on-line, at 'YouTube' for you to
view
at:

These include my
introduction, a five minute clip on 'Jack Straw and the
problem of the
Hijab', and a clip concerning 'Who is going to represent
Islam in Britain
now?' We have purposely chosen these first ones to
represent topics
currently in the news, and have made them look
amateurish, as they then tend
to generate more hits.
Feel free to go up and look at them, respond to
any of them, as YouTube
permits you to freely post either a text or video
response, or respond
to the Muslims who are commenting on the clips. It's a
great way to get
involved in evangelism from the comfort of your own home, a
sort of
'arm-chair' missionary, and it won't cost you a cent.
Here are the videos posted so far:

Who Represents Islam in Britain Now?
Re: Who Hijacked Islam?! (a response to a Muslim rant about his religion being misunderstood)

Re: Muslim Teacher Suspended for Wearing a Veil in Class
On another note, Steve at STR linked to Gary Habermas' book Dealing with Doubt, which is available for free online. This is a great resource from an authority on the subject.
Lastly, stayed tuned for next Tuesday's 24 Season 6 trailer.
