This is an awesome debate between Prof. Ronald De Sousa and Rev. Joe Boot at the University of Ottawa last year. I had the opportunity to see Joe Boot last year at my church and he had the audience spellbound.
Please watch. There are thirteen of these episodes that can be accessed through YouTube..
Joe Boot is a noted speaker associated with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries in Canada. He obtained a diploma in Theology from Birmingham Bible Institute in Great Britain followed by a year of study and vocational training at a school for Christian leadership in Nottingham.
Joe has been proclaiming and defending biblical Christianity in diverse contexts for more than a decade, having been based on both sides of the Atlantic in London and Oxford, England, and now in Toronto, Canada. As a widely respected communicator and educator, Joe's ministry with RZIM has taken him all over the world to more than 20 countries from North America to Central and South East Asia as well as Australia proclaiming and defending the gospel at universities, colleges, seminaries, churches, missions, and conferences. Notably he has addressed audiences at Eton College, Windsor, Oxford University, London School of Theology, University of Toronto, Waterloo University, and Forman University College in Pakistan. He lectures regularly at the RZIM summer school at Oxford.
Joe Boot is particularly gifted in communicating to skeptics in a biblically illiterate society and is in growing demand for his ability to bring a credible, biblical proclamation of the gospel to seekers, skeptics and those who shape the ideas of our culture. His apologetic works, Why I Still Believe and Searching for Truth, have been published in Europe and North America.
Joe lives near Toronto with his wife, Jenny, and two daughters.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. -Philippians 4:8

Call it the power of the Canadians again... To set the Americans straight.

Boot is good. Hard to find time to listen to all of it. I think Boot does a far better job of proof than De Sousa, but so far (part 3) it seems De Sousa may be reaching the audience better.
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. " 1 Corinthians 13:1-2
