John Carson Lennox (born 7 November 1943) is a Northern Irish mathematician, bioethicist, and Christian apologist originally from Northern Ireland. He has written many books on religion, ethics, the relationship between science and God (like his books, Has Science Buried God and Can Science Explain Everything), and has had public debates with atheists including Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens.

Lennox earned his first doctorate from the University of Cambridge, then earned a second and third doctorate from the University of Oxford and Cardiff University, respectively. As a professor, Lennox specialised in group theory. He is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics[1] at the University of Oxford, where he is also Emeritus Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science at Green Templeton College and has worked as adjunct lecturer at Wycliffe Hall and at the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. He is also an Associate Fellow of the Saïd Business School and a Senior Fellow at the Trinity Forum.
