Did Jesus rise from the dead? What if he never actually died on the cross?
As Easter approaches we hear from one of the best respected Muslim scholars in the world - Shabir Ally. He explains why he does not believe Jesus rose from the dead, namely because he never actually died upon the cross - he merely 'swooned'.
Christian Apologist Tony Costa presents his case for the resurrection of Christ and critiques Ally's belief that Jesus did not die.
