Hitchens Asked Lennox: Why Jesus and Not Every Other God?

Why should anyone believe Christianity is true rather than just one religion among many? In this exchange, Christopher Hitchens challenges Oxford mathematician John Lennox on exactly that question: why Christianity, why Jesus, and what makes its claims different from every other religious belief? Their discussion quickly moves into the evidence for Jesus, biblical prophecy, Christ’s claim to divinity, the resurrection, and whether miracles actually conflict with the laws of nature. The Christian Take adds brief Christian commentary to help unpack the arguments and the biblical claims at the center of the discussion. This footage comes from the 2009 Samford University debate Is God Great? between Christopher Hitchens and John Lennox. Original video: https://youtu.be/5OXPlUCGScY?si=G_UzOK9vLWpn42i7
