John Lennox

John Carson Lennox (born November 7, 1943) is emeritus professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford and emeritus fellow in mathematics and philosophy of science at Green Templeton College, Oxford. A Northern Irish-born mathematician, he has published on group theory and serves as a senior teaching fellow at the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics.

Lennox is one of the most prominent contemporary apologists for Christianity from within the world of mathematics and the natural sciences, and has publicly debated Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Peter Singer, and Michael Shermer. His books address creation and evolution (Seven Days That Divide the World), the new atheism (God's Undertaker, Gunning for God), the problem of evil, and—most recently—the philosophical and theological challenges of artificial intelligence (2084).
