John Lennox is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Philosophy of Science at the University of Oxford.
John joins me to talk about his life and legacy - finding faith during 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland, his life in academia, speaking in the USSR and debating the 'new atheists' such as Richard Dawkins & Christopher Hitchens.
Online trends such as 'WitchTok', the psychedelic boom and interest in the occult, are evidence of our continuing fascination with the supernatural. However, encounters with these 'dark enchantments' are also turning many towards a Christian faith that is open to the 'weird'.
In this documentary episode I speak to Malcolm Duncan, Anna Morgan and Andy Crook about the growth of pentecostal and charismatic churches that practise prophecy, deliverance and healing. Tom Holland and James Drain also recount their unexpected miracle stories.
But not all miracles look the same. Following the devastating loss of his daughter Natasha, Nadim Ednan-Laperouse tells the story of the supernatural encounters that led him to faith in Christ.
