Two Theologians Debate 9/11

Ian Markham, Hartford Seminary:

When a book argues that the American President deliberately and knowingly was "involved" in the slaughter of 3,000 US citizens, then this is irresponsible.

David Ray Griffin, Claremont School of Theology:

This is itself, of course, a very strong charge. . . . I will respond to this charge . . . by showing that Markham has provided no support for it and that, therefore, he has failed his own test: that criticism needs to be responsible.

Those who are best able to evaluate the merits of a controversial position when it is honed in battle with a well-meaning, honest, and intelligent adversary have a treat in store for them here. I will not risk overstating Griffin’s performance. Taste and see.
