uabhadam's review against another edition

This was given to me by a respected friend. On my first read-through I found it to be a mirror image of the New Atheists, filled with red herrings, question-begging, and flat out bad arguments, none of which really tackled the question in the title. Then I watched Lennox's debate with Richard Dawkins and it made more sense. This is not a rigorous work on the limits of science and materialist metaphysics, like Plantinga's "Where The Conflict Really Lies", it's an extended response to what Dawkins said. Reading it like that, it's fine and reasonable. I can only rate it as an independent work though.

such an excellent book explaining clearly why we need Christianity and not just our own logic or scientific beliefs
"But John is not only concerned that we come to believe these facts; he is also concerned that, on the basis of those facts, we come to trust in Jesus as a person"

I was leant this book by my friend because I’ve always wondered about the cross over between science and religion, can they both simultaneously be believed and followed? As someone who does subscribe both to science and (more recently) religion, I was excited to read this - especially when learning Lennox himself is a mathematician and a reliable scientific scholar.
Lennox provides a well thought through and thorough argument for the existence of God and Christianity while fiercely criticising Dawkins ‘The God Delusion’, while also making both historic and current references to theists and scientists.
Essentially, if you’re looking for something to inspire you or to spark your faith, or you’re interested in science or religion, or if you’re agnostic or even an atheist - this would be a brilliant read if you’re prepared to have an open mind.
