More quotes by John Lennox

The evils perpetuated by some professing branches of the Christian church have died hard.

The God of the Bible is not a God of the gaps.

All people are people of Faith. Everybody's got a world view that they believe and this really exposed one of the biggest problems we have in our culture -- that Christians are regarded as people of faith. That means they believe where there's no evidence but atheists -- they're not people of Faith, they're rational and fighting against that is one of the things I've been doing for a long time.
