Summary
Where is God in a Cronavirus World? That’s question Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist John Lennox asks in his wonderful new book by the same title.
Today on the BreakPoint podcast, Dr. Lennox discusses with John Stonestreet his motivation for writing the book, which was to explain the Christian view of God’s love in the midst of suffering in a way that will encourage believers, but that will also give skeptics, as he Dr. Lennox says, “something to sink their teeth into.”
We are making Dr. Lennox’s book available at BreakPoint.org/Lennox. It’s ideal for anyone struggling intellectually, theologically, or even physically and emotionally during this coronavirus crisis.
