Is the rigorous pursuit of scientific knowledge compatible with a sincere faith in God? The brilliant, humble, and always well-spoken, Dr. John Lennox, President of The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, joins Frank for a deep and wide-ranging conversation about the relationship between faith and science. From science and philosophy to personal testimony and practical wisdom, this conversation explores just a handful of the many books Dr. Lennox has written over the years, and why he believes Christianity is worth standing up for—no matter the cost. During their discussion, they tackle questions like:How did an Oxford mathematician come to believe that Christianity is true?Who told John that he needed to give up on God if he wanted a career in science and what was his response?What was it like listening to C.S. Lewis give his last lectures?What's the “roast chicken” analogy?Why can’t physics and chemistry explain the deepest questions of life?What about the God of the Gaps argument?Do the laws of nature prove that miracles are impossible?What does John think is the best evidence for the resurrection?After living out 70+ years of faith and reason is there anything he would do differently?Listeners will enjoy Dr. Lennox’s engaging stories, clever analogies, and practical ways to communicate the Gospel of grace clearly in a skeptical age.
