Against The Tide: Watch John Lennox provide evidence for God in the age of science

Over the past two decades John Lennox has become one of the most well known voices in the battle between Christianity and atheism.

Lennox, an emeritus professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford, has written numerous books in defence of Christian faith and debated some of the best-known atheist personalities on stages around the world.

Against the Tide is a documentary that charts his life and career, with a particular emphasis on his mission to stand against the ‘tide’ of scientific materialism embraced by so many of his atheist colleagues. Lennox’s own academic background, combined with his personable Irish charisma, have made him a perfect match for the intellectual grandstanding of the New Atheists. The film frequently references his onstage clashes with public intellectuals like Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens.

Through interviews and archive debate material, we are given an overview of how Lennox responds to the anti-religious rhetoric of his peers and why he believes science points towards God rather than away from him.
