» News: Christopher Hitchens v. Douglas Wilson
Christianity Today invited Douglas Wilson, minister in the CREC denomination, to debate Christopher Hitchens, contrarian journalist and author of God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. The debate will take place online, in a series of articles.
Editorial Comment: Whatever your opinion of Douglas Wilson, this represents serious interaction between the world of intellectual Christianity and the world of secular political / cultural reporting and will no doubt get the Christian worldview into the public consciousness. And Hitchens is a true liberal - perhaps he will be persuaded and go on to persuade others. Wilson's engagement with Sam Harris will be reviewed in a future post here at the RN blog.

This debate resembles Evander Holyfields last fight against Mike Tyson. Hitchens arguments.... (whoops he hasn't made one yet) are dismissive and not very engaging. Wilson seems to have cut the ring off and is wailing on him. I hope Hitchens will at least swing a few more times. Watch your ears Mr. Wilson, he has no moral authority telling him that it is wrong to bite or head butt.
