Can Science Explain Everything?
An inspiring new perspective on the science versus religion debate. 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. Science and religion just do not mix. 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.

Esa es la pregunta que John Lennox trata en este nuevo libro escrito desde la sala -¡ahora dónde más!- de su casa en Oxford, Inglaterra. Recordando el estilo conversacional del autor C.S. Lewis en Mero Cristianismo (escrito durante la segunda guerra mundial), este es un libro para el tiempo más desafiante de nuestra generación. Siéntate y acompaña a John Lennox en ¿Dónde está Dios en un mundo con Coronavirus?. ¡Seguramente después querrás invitar a otros de tu familia, amigos, vecinos y compañeros del trabajo a la misma conversación!

¿Puede la ciencia explicarlo todo?
¿Puede la ciencia explicarlo todo? Es una pregunta interesante que John Lennox y mucha gente piensa que sí. La ciencia y las tecnologías que ha generado han aportado mucho al mundo: agua limpia; más comida; mejor asistencia sanitaria; vida más larga. Y vivimos en una época de rápido progreso científico que promete resolver muchos de los problemas que enfrentamos como humanidad. Tanto es así, de hecho, que muchos no ven la necesidad o el uso de la religión y los sistemas de creencias que nos ofrecen respuestas a los misterios de nuestro universo. La ciencia lo ha explicado, suponen. La religión es redundante. El profesor de matemáticas de Oxford y creyente cristiano, John Lennox, ofrece una nueva forma de pensar sobre la ciencia y el cristianismo que disipa los conceptos erróneos comunes sobre ambos. Él revela que no solo no se oponen, sino que pueden y deben mezclarse para darnos una comprensión más completa del universo y el significado de nuestra existencia. No es necesario ser científico ni cristiano para valorar este libro. John Lennox escribe con una simplicidad que permite que el no científico lo siga, pero lo lleva a la presencia y a los pensamientos de algunos de los grandes de la ciencia, mientras escribe persuasivamente para defender el lugar de Dios en el mundo científico. Una introducción importante para cualquiera que luche con los problemas de la ciencia y la fe. Rev Hugh Palmer, Rector, All Souls, Langham Place, Londres.

Audiobook
Seven Days that Divide the World, 10th Anniversary Edition: The Beginning According to Genesis and S
Now revised and updated--John Lennox's acclaimed method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. What did the writer of Genesis mean by 'the first day?' Are the seven days in Genesis 1 a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old as cosmologists believe, am I denying the authority of Scripture? With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God's intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth. With this book, Lennox offers a careful and accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis. Since its publication in 2011, this book has enabled many readers to see that the major controversy with which it engages can be resolved without compromising commitment to the authority of Scripture. In this newly revised and expanded edition, John clarifies his arguments, responds to comments and critiques of the past decade since its first publication. In particular, he describes some of the history up to modern times of Jewish scholarly interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative as well as spelling out in more detail the breadth of views in the Great Tradition of interpretation due to the early Church Fathers. He shows that, contrary to what many people think, much of the difficulty with understanding the biblical texts does not arise from modern science but from attempting to elucidate the texts in their own right.

Where is God in a Coronavirus World?
How belief in a loving and sovereign God helps us to make sense of and cope with the coronavirus outbreak. We are living through a unique, era-defining period. Many of our old certainties have gone, whatever our view of the world and whatever our beliefs. The coronavirus pandemic and its effects are perplexing and unsettling for all of us. How do we begin to think it through and cope with it? In this short yet profound book, Oxford mathematics professor John Lennox examines the coronavirus in light of various belief systems and shows how the Christian worldview not only helps us to make sense of it, but also offers us a sure and certain hope to cling to. Here's why John Lennox wrote the book: "This book consists of my reflections on what we are experiencing right now. I started writing it a week ago, and things have changed quickly since then and no doubt will do again...I would invite you, the reader, to view the book like this: we are sitting in a coffee shop (if only we could!) and you have asked me the question on the book cover. I put down my coffee cup and attempt to give you an honest answer. What follows is what I would try to say in order to convey some comfort, support and hope."
