Magazine debate

In May 2007, the magazine Christianity Today published a debate between Christopher Hitchens and Doug Wilson in serial form. See the Amazon reviews, apparently it was somewhat well-received.

Book

Is Christianity Good for the World?, published in September 2008 by Canon Press.

The table of contents makes clear that the book is a word-for-word reprint of the Christianity Today debates that are available for free, and the copyright page says as much. However, the book form does include a small amount of new material:

It was filmed over the course of three days in the fall of 2008, during their book tour.

The first public screening was held at March 20, 2009 at the Christian Book Expo.

At the expo, Hitchens, Wilson, and three others had an additional debate called "Does the God of Christianity exist, and what difference does it make?"
