Is there God? That is what Christopher Hitchens and Douglas Wilson have set out to discuss in their new book “Is Christianity Good for the World?” which came out in September. The two co-authors promoted their book through a series of debates, on of which was at Westminster Theological Seminary in Glenside, PA, USA on October 30th 2008.

Christopher Hitchens is an outspoken atheist, author of best-selling book “God Is Not Great”. and columnist at Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Slate, Free Inquiry. You can read more about him on Wikipedia.

Douglas James Wilson is a conservative Reformed and evangelical theologian, pastor at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, faculty member at New Saint Andrews College, and author of “Letter from a Christian Citizen”. You can read more about him on Wikipedia.

This is a recording of the debate at WTS. The debate is one hour long, preceded by a short introduction and followed by an hour long Q&A session with Hitchens and Wilson.

I invite everyone to grab a cup of coffee and press play to watch Christopher Hitchens in one of his greatest performances on stage.
