Christopher Hitchens and Doug Wilson debated on the campus of Westminster Theological Seminary (East) on October 30, 2008. The debate was moderated by Dr. Scott Oliphint, professor of apologetics at WTS.
The debate can be heard by clicking here. The debate is the 12th item on the list.
Started off the program today with a little bit on the ongoing attacks upon A&O by the odd coalition of Christians and political types, and then reviewed some comments by Yusuf Ismail in a recent ABN debate with Usama Dakdok, specifically looking at portions of Deuteronomy—tough, difficult portions. No ducking, no saying “Oh, that’s the Old Testament, we don’t have
Outside of saying we did talk specifically about the Equality Act and how it will fundamentally do away with the first Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, we sort of just pondered what looks like, at the moment, the possible outcome of the messed-up, in some places, very corrupt, election, especially as this impacts believers and the work
Sam Shamoun, Islamic expert extraordinaire, happened to notice that once again a cheap hit piece has been posted in the guise of a “review” of one of my books on Amazon. I truly detest the review features which are so rarely used for reviews and so often used as a major-league sized “comments” section (another good example of why comments
While we have made this debate available in audio format for almost a decade, this is the first time we’ve made it available in video format. The quality is far below our normal video recording (single video camera, poor lighting, etc.), but it is still usable. In fact, you can see the text on the screen as I used PowerPoint

Powered by big stars (Tom Hanks, Ian McKellen) and Oscar winning director Ron Howard, the film adaptation of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code represents the investment of millions of dollars in spreading the clear message that the Bible
This Friday evening I will be debating the retired Episcopalian bishop of Newark, John Shelby Spong. Spong is one of the favorites of the ultra-left, so you have probably seen or heard him on PBS, seen his books being promoted heavily in the media, or heard him being interviewed for a “progressive Christian” viewpoint on this or that.

Started off the program playing an 11 minute clip drawn from the 2-hour hit piece posted by Drs. Hunter and Pritchett relating to my review of the methodology used by William Lane Craig in his interview with Ben Shapiro. Then we finished up looking at Kwaku El’s claims about the Trinity, etc., and finished the 90 minute program with a
