He is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics[2] at the University of Oxford and an Emeritus Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science at Green Templeton College, Oxford University. He is also an Associate Fellow of the Saïd Business School. Early lifeJohn Lennox was born on 7 November 1943 in Northern Ireland and brought up in Armagh where his father ran a store.[3] He attended The Royal School, Armagh, and went on to become Exhibitioner and Senior Scholar at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where in 1962 he also attended the last lectures of C. S. Lewis on the poet John Donne. Lennox obtained Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees at the University of Cambridge with the dissertation Centrality and Permutability in Soluble Groups (1970).[4] He was awarded a Doctor of Science degree in mathematics by the University of Cardiff for his research. Lennox also holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Oxford (by incorporation)[5] and an M.A. degree in bioethics at the University of Surrey.[6] CareerUpon completing his doctorate, Lennox moved to Cardiff, Wales, becoming a reader in Mathematics at the University of Wales, Cardiff. Lennox also teaches science and religion in the University of Oxford. During his 29 years in Cardiff he spent a year at each of the universities of Würzburg, Freiburg (as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow), and Vienna, and has lectured extensively in both Eastern and Western Europe, Russia and North America on mathematics, apologetics, and the exposition of scripture. Lennox is the author of a number of books on the relations of science, religion, and ethics. His most recent works are: Being Truly Human (2018), Determined to Believe? (2018) and Against the Flow (2015). Titles being released early in 2019 include Finding Ultimate Reality, Joseph and Can science explain everything?. He has published over 70 peer-reviewed articles on mathematics, co-authored two Oxford Mathematical Monographs, and worked as a translator of Russian mathematics. He has spoken in many different countries, in conferences and as an academic fellow, including numerous trips to the former Soviet Union. On 14 March 2012 he presented an edition of the Lent Talks for BBC Radio Four. Lennox has also given lectures at the Veritas forum on topics such as the relationship between science and religion,[7][8] the existence of God,[9] doubt, and the problems of evil and suffering.[10] Additionally, he is a Senior Fellow of The Trinity Forum, a Christian nonprofit that develops leaders to make contributions to cultural renewal. DebatesLennox has been part of numerous public debates defending the Christian faith, including debates with Christopher Hitchens, Michael Shermer, Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, Peter Atkins, Victor Stenger, Michael Tooley, Stephen Law, and Peter Singer.
