Carrier vs. Licona debate on the resurrection

I enjoyed the debate, thanks for posting. I agree that Carrier did well. I also think that Licona came off quite well, not so much for his reasoning, but for his delivery. He is a little more polished than Carrier.

I was initially surprised that Licona bypassed the Gospels; however, considering Carrier's work on the subject this may have been a good debate tactic. I love debates like this where participants in the timed Q&A portion almost immediately evolve to a true back and forth discussion and not so hung up on who controls the floor for the particular ten minutes (although both agreed that the moderator should continue so as to adhere to the rules).

I know what it feels like to be out of work, so I empathize with Licona's situation. I can only hope that things will improve personally for Licona and that he has the ability to pull some 'inerrant' types with him.
