Christian Apologist: The Truth About Christianity (And Why Atheism Is Fading)
"I went up to the door and a chap came over and looked at me. He killed 12 women. And he said, I deserve to be here. And then his face just burst into what I can only describe as a ghastly smile. And he said, I met Jesus here and he forgave me."
John Lennox, an Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist, recounted visiting a Russian death row facility where a condemned murderer who killed 12 women told him through the cell door that Jesus had forgiven him. Lennox used this encounter as evidence that divine forgiveness extends even to the most extreme cases, challenging conventional moral intuitions about justice and redemption.
