Faith is not a leap in the dark; it's the exact opposite. It's a commitment based on evidence.

John Lennox

John Lennox (* 1943) ist ein nordirischer Mathematiker, Wissenschaftsphilosoph und evangelikaler Apologet, der als Professor an der University of Oxford lehrte. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch Debatten mit prominenten Atheisten wie Richard Dawkins und Publikationen, in denen er für die Vereinbarkeit von Naturwissenschaft und Schöpferglauben eintritt, woran säkulare Kritiker eine theologische Überinterpretation wissenschaftlicher Befunde bemängeln. Für Bibelleser bietet sein Werk sachliche Argumente, um theologische Überzeugungen im Dialog mit naturwissenschaftlichen und philosophischen Fragen rational zu vertreten.
