John Lennox: 'Seven Days That Divide the World'

Eric Metaxas and Socrates in the City present an evening with John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, at the Union Club in New York City on January 31, 2013. Dr. Lennox explores a method for reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. Afterward Metaxas is heard asking, "Why didn't I ever have any math teachers like this?"

"I am not ashamed, Ladies and Gentlemen, to say that, as a scientist, I believe that Jesus Christ literally rose from the dead on the third day"..

Best talk I've seen on YouTube. Can't believe I used to idolize people like Hitchens and Harris. Thank you Lord for your grace and helping your disciples spread the word in this world of scoffers.

“My biggest argument for thinking that human beings are special... God became one.”

Oh. My. How powerful.

I have seen the video on Dr. Lennox but never listen to it until one evening I took time to listen..it's really eye opening..until at this age (54) as an educator, I really have no confidence on my Christian Belief as compatible with science. I never dare to speak and tell my faith before other scientists... but thanks God...listening to Dr. Lennox.. my spirit leaps up....

I'm listening and watching this guy and thinking, he's a better preacher than most actual preachers I've ranting, shouting, just solid logic and facts to demonstrate truth

You are such a humble, brilliant, God loving, God fearing person, Dr. Lennox! I thank God for you. Thanks a lot to you for this eye opening, mind blowing lecture.

I had no idea Eric Metaxas was so funny. That was hilarious! Also a big thanks to Professor Lennox for loving God with all his mind.

[jkrdan]

I pray that God would raise Christians with brilliant minds and loving hearts, to God be all the glory.

Every time I hear this man I’m the richer for it. “You should never be ashamed of saying I don’t know.”

The host was very funny. Love that dry humor. My dear brother John is more than brilliant, he is precious. His spirit of humility and love is pressed down and overflowing. John's character speaks more convincingly of the existence and love of God than anything his science could ever say.

"The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips." This verse from Proverbs comes to my mind each time I hear Dr. John Lennox.
Listening you from the heart of Transylvania, Romania!

Absolutely astounding. I'm so glad God led me to this video, as I am currently trying to witness to some very intelligent, non-believing friends. Speakers like Dr. Lennox are wonderfully elucidating. Simply amazing. Thank you for uploading this.

The sophistication and nuance of this lecture is utterly brilliant, humble and God-honoring. I would share this with my friends of different philosophical convictions also, so good!

[simonghiorgis]

God bless John Lennox. Well explained. Great thinker.

[ingodwetrustgachatuber]

Prof Lennox is such an intelligent man and is humble at the same time. So balanced as a truly clear mind that he researches even his beliefs. Almighty God bless you, Sir.

Eric Metaxas is one of the funniest people I've ever heard. What a great way to get people to really listen!

[HappyCamper-eva]

The intro is very funny but if you start to wonder when it will finally end, it is over at 9:38.

[mikebetts]

The first thing I learned from this presentation is that Eric Metaxas is a fabulous comedian.

[KyleWMyers]

Fantastic video! The commentator was funny, but Dr. John Lennox could lecture for hours and keep you on the edge of your seat.

Love this program. So many ideas. So much wisdom. Such a cohesive talk. He makes me want to learn everything.
