Summary
From his humble beginnings in Northern Ireland to debating the world's most prominent atheists on the global stage, Dr John C. Lennox has spent a lifetime (more than sixty years!) showing how faith, science, and reason can stand together. In this exclusive interview recorded at St. Ebbe’s Church in Oxford, England, Frank and John discuss his new autobiography, 'My Story: A Spiritual and Intellectual Autobiography', and reflect on the ideas, people and pivotal moments that shaped his remarkable life. You'll learn: Why are we here and what is the purpose of life? What makes Jesus and Christianity so unique compared to other religions? How does Dr. Lennox disarm hostility when talking with skeptics and non-Christians? What happened during his debate with Richard Dawkins that moved many people closer to Chrisitanity? Who told John that he needed to give up on God if he wanted a career in science and what was his response? Why did John's dad tell him to read Karl Marx's, 'Das Kapital'? Why is human empathy so important when other people experience pain and suffering? Why does John describe our fallen world as a combination of "bombs and beauty"? Why might someone reject Christ even if they believe Christianity is true? What analogy does John often use to demonstrate that God’s grace is given and not earned? What is John's advice to young Christians?
