Can science explain everything? Many people think so.

Science, and the technologies it has spawned, has delivered so much to the world: clean water; more food; better healthcare; longer life. And we live in a time of rapid scientific progress that holds enormous promise for many of the problems we face as humankind. So much so, in fact, that many see no need or use for religion and belief systems that offer us answers to the mysteries of our universe. Science has explained it, they assume. Religion is redundant.

Oxford Maths Professor and Christian believer Prof. John Lennox offers a fresh way of thinking about science and Christianity that dispels the common misconceptions about both. He reveals that not only are they not opposed, but they can and must mix to give us a fuller understanding of the universe and the meaning of our existence.

Professor Lennox brings the logic of the mathematician to show that science and religion do not belong to a war zone, as some would have us believe. His highly accessible account is interlaced with colourful humour and personal experiences that relate to the excitement of rational, sensible and wholesome insights from the best-attested manuscripts of the ancient world. Myths are dispatched; miracles, evil and suffering are confronted; the Standard Model of physics, the Big Bang and the Open Universe are richly explored. But beware, particularly if you are coming from some sceptical distance: this is a book that could make a difference in worldviews and even lives.

John Lennox gives a thought-provoking, engaging, and wide-ranging discussion of the relationship between science and Christianity. He looks at writing and sayings of prominent scientists, from Newton to Hawking, about religion, the universe, God and creation; and discusses the role of faith and rational argument in both religion and science. I highly recommend the book as an engaging and challenging read.
