Debating Religion with Christopher Hitchens brings together some of the most electrifying clashes of ideas ever staged on the public stage. In these landmark debates, the late Christopher Hitchens?essayist, polemicist, and one of the most formidable orators of his generation?confronts leading defenders of faith on the most profound questions of belief, morality, and human purpose.
Across encounters with Rabbi David Wolpe, Dinesh D'Souza, Reverend Al Sharpton, Tony Blair, Douglas Wilson, and Dr. Alister McGrath, Hitchens delivers the full force of his intellect: razor-sharp logic, biting humor, and an unyielding demand for evidence. Whether dismantling theological claims, challenging the moral authority of religion, or defending the human capacity for meaning without gods, Hitchens treats argument as both an art and a moral duty.
This collection captures Hitchens at his most brilliant and combative, sparring with eloquence and urgency on questions that have shaped civilization?and still divide it. More than a record of debate, it is a testament to the power of reason, the necessity of dissent, and the enduring thrill of fearless inquiry.
Provocative, illuminating, and fiercely entertaining, Debating Religion with Christopher Hitchens is a masterclass in the art of argument?and a rallying cry for all who refuse to be spectators of unfairness or stupidity.
