» 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.
