Tomorrow marks the release of Collision – the long-awaited documentary/debate between Reformed evangelical Pastor Doug Wilson and well-known atheist/author Christopher Hitchens.

Hitchens, who prefers the label “anti-theist” is known for his strong assertions that religion and Christianity are “bad for the world.” He, along with fellow atheists Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett have often been referred to as “The Four Horsemen”. He is the best-selling author of the book “God Is Not Great.”

Wilson is the pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, editor of Credenda/Agenda magazine, and a faculty member at New Saint Andrew’s College. A prolific writer and editor, he has also authored a few books himself, including Letter from a Christian Citizen, Reforming Marriage and Heaven Misplaced: Christ’s Kingdom on Earth.

(from the website…)

COLLISION carves a new path in documentary film-making as it pits leading atheist, political journalist and bestselling author Christopher Hitchens against fellow author, satirist and evangelical theologian Douglas Wilson, as they go on the road to exchange blows over the question: “Is Christianity Good for the World?”. The two contrarians laugh, confide and argue, in public and in private, as they journey through three cities. And the film captures it all. The result is a magnetic conflict, a character-driven narrative that sparkles cinematically with a perfect match of arresting personalities and intellectual rivalry. COLLISION is directed by prolific independent filmmaker Darren Doane.

CHECK OUT THE TRAILER… looks good.
