A Biblical scholar (Bart Ehrman) debates a dogmatic Christian fundamentalist (Justin Bass) over the Resurrection of Jesus, aka, the first Easter

Spoiler: they don't wind up agreeing with each other.

This is a debate on the Resurrection of Jesus that provide a glimpse of the difference between academic scholarship on the Christian Bible and dogmatic fudamentalist efforts to discredit such actual scholarship in favor of a faith-based analysis. Understanding the bad-faith style (no pun intended) of this kind of Christian fundamentalist argumentation helps to see why the type of arguments we see from conservative media stars like Chalie Kirk are appealing to conservative Christians.
