God and the Problem of Suffering
At the University of North Carolina, Professor Bart Ehrman and Dinesh D'Souza debate whether evil and suffering undermine the possibility of God's existence (Chapel Hill, Oct. 2009). The debate focuses on Ehrman's book "God's Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question -- Why We Suffer." Ehrman says it was the issue of suffering that led him to reject belief in the God of the Bible.
Professors Richard Dawkins and John Lennox go head-to-head once again for another remarkable match of intellect (Oxford University, Oct. 2008). This time, the same two Oxford Professors who debated in Birmingham's 'God Delusion' Debate are at it again on the site of the famed 1860 Evolution debate between Huxley and Wilberforce.
Oxford Professor John Lennox and journalist Christopher Hitchens came to Samford University to debate the question "Is God Great?" (Birmingham, AL, Mar. 2009). Hitchens, who made his opinion clear on this topic in 2007 with his book God is not Great, maintains not only that God fails to be great, but denies his existence entirely. Professor Lennox, a convinced Christian and scientist, respectfully disagrees.
God on Trial pits two of the most eloquent and influential spokesmen for atheism and Christianity against one another in what is surely one of the most spirited discussions of its kind. Celebrated atheist Christopher Hitchens matches wits with bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza before a packed house of over 2,000 people in St. Louis’ elegant Powell Symphony Hall (Sept. 2008).
At the world's largest cultural arts festival in Scotland, Christopher Hitchens and John Lennox debate whether or not the New Europe should jettison its religious past and welcome the "New Atheism" (Edinburgh, Aug. 2008). This debate was moderated by BBC's James Naughtie, and Atheist ringleader Richard Dawkins was one of over 1,400 people in the audience.
