ON WEDNESDAY, students, staff, and guests gathered at the Empire State Building, the home of The King’s College, for a spirited debate between prolific Slate columnist Christopher Hitchens and pastor/author Douglas Wilson, the founder of New Saint Andrews College. Moderated by World magazine editor Marvin Olasky, the two tangled over the question, “is Christianity good for the world?” After the debate, both Hitchens and Wilson stopped by our conference room for a post-debate interview.
