review 1: An excellent debate between the famous atheist Christopher Hitchens and the Christian theologian Douglas Wilson. Both sides gave interesting and well-thought arguments about Christianity, but in my humble opinion Douglas Wilson won the debate in argument and courtesy. Though Hitchens is a very eloquent speaker, his arguments on morality and other topics are not sound enough to stand on. Wilson effectively asked questions that Hitchens could give only partial answers to and also gave excellent answers to Hitchens’s questions. Wilson brought out a very good point which Hitchens could not really counter. It is this: if there is no God, what is meaningful in life? Everything has no meaning without the existence of God. If there is no God, who cares about morality? There wil... morel be no judge after death to determine our actions. If there is no God, why should any person do an ounce of good in this world? There is no purpose for good without God. Why should people continue to live if there is no God? Without God, life is nothing.
review 2: I wouldn't recommend this book, whether you are a fan of Hitchens or Wilson. This book is like reading a vocal debate... yet apparently the authors wrote to each other. I might even guess that this was an exchange of emails between the two. The content just isn't that good, the authors talk past each other, both make a couple good points but I would much rather have a well formulated argument from each side for their views instead of this format. less
