John Lennox is a professor of mathematics at Oxford and one of the most respected Christian apologists alive. And at this Veritas Forum event at Cornell he took on the hardest question any believer ever has to answer — if God is good and all-powerful, why is there so much suffering in the world? In this video I'm reacting to this extraordinary conversation between John Lennox and Cornell professor Rosemary Avery and connecting his answer to what the Bible actually says about pain, evil, and the character of God. Because here is what makes this conversation different from most debates on this topic. Lennox does not offer a tidy, dismissive answer that pretends suffering doesn't hurt. He treats the question with the weight it deserves, walking through the philosophical objections seriously while showing why the Christian worldview, rather than avoiding the problem of evil, actually gives the most coherent account of why suffering exists and why it matters. He draws on his own experience, his scientific training, and decades of engaging skeptics at the world's top universities to make the case that reason and faith are not enemies even in the darkest moments of human experience. Watch until the end — because this is one of the most compassionate and intellectually honest answers to the problem of pain you will ever hear from a world-class scientist.
