John Lennox is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, a philosopher of science, and a seasoned Christian apologist. Lennox has twice debated Richard Dawkins and is the author of the excellent book, Has Science Buried God?. We don’t often get apologists of his stature here in New Zealand and it will be exciting for Kiwis to have the opportunity to hear him.
I’ll update the blog as soon as the dates are finalized and available. In the meantime, here are some of his lectures to whet your appetite:
