John Lennox: A Mathematician's Story

Rosa Hunt speaks to Emeritus Professor John Lennox, one of the most acclaimed Christian apologists of modern times, about his new autobiography 'My Story.' With Rosa, John reflects on his childhood growing up in Northern Ireland, studying at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, and teaching mathematics across the world. He's defending the Christian faith in lecture halls, debates and the public square for more than sixty years, including debating the New Atheists Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. Throughout his career John has maintained that rigorous science and deep faith are not enemies but allies, and has devoted his life in the public sphere to defending this principle. He's tackled some of the thorniest questions in public debates; where is God in the Big Bang? Can faith and science mix? Does God exist? John takes us on a journey from Northern Ireland to Wales, Germany and Soviet Russia, tracing a lifetime devoted to mathematics, faith and reason.
