How I use the Bible in Apologetics: An Interview with John Lennox.

Apologists often speak to audiences unfamiliar with Scripture, much like Paul at the Areopagus or C.S. Lewis in his cultural‑reasoning approach. This raises the question of whether quoting the Bible helps or hinders communication with non‑believers who may trust philosophers or scientists more readily than Scripture. The challenge is to spark curiosity so people begin reading the Gospels for themselves. John Lennox offers a compelling model: he engages diverse secular audiences with clear reasoning, creative analogies, and well‑chosen biblical references that illuminate rather than alienate. In this session, we explore how and when he uses Scripture in apologetics and why it remains central to his ministry.
