Synopsis

The gloves come off in this electric exchange, originally hosted by Christianity Today, as leading atheist Christopher Hitchens (author of God Is Not Great) and Christian apologist Douglas Wilson (author of Letter from a Christian Citizen) go head-to-head on this divisive question. The result is entertaining and provocative – a glimpse into the ongoing debate.

Review:

“Christopher Hitchens, one of the world’s great polemicists – he’s taken on Mother Teresa and Kissinger – emerges as the latest, and most eloquently effective, religious debunker.”
– Martin Levin, The Globe and Mail

“Put two contrarians together and shake well.”
–Christianity Today
