WHAT’S AN OXFORD MATHEMATICIAN GOT TO SAY ABOUT FAITH? To meet John Lennox on the street would be a pleasant enough experience, as he is a down-to-earth Irishman with an easy laugh and a gentle manner. He’s the proverbial guy you’d love to have as a neighbor.

He’s also a professor of mathematics at Oxford, an admirer of the great physicist Stephen Hawking, whom he critiqued in an important book, a regular debate opponent of another famous Oxford don, Richard Dawkins, and an articulate apologist for intelligent design and evangelical Christianity.

So why does he claim science and faith are complementary at a time when the former claims to have done away with the latter? He explains it all here on HillFaith in an excerpt from a recent interview on British radio.

UPDATE: Every editor needs an editor and I am no exception. Thanks to all for pointing out my complementary/complimentary stumble.
