FRANKLIN, Tennessee (ANS) – Internationally renowned speaker and author on the interface of science, philosophy, and religion, Oxford University Professor Dr. John Lennox has dedicated his life to standing up against the rising tide of atheism by sharing the rational foundations of his belief.
His recent documentary, AGAINST THE TIDE: Finding God in an Age of Science is a theatrical-length documentary that serves as both a biography and travelogue.

Joined by veteran actor, director, and producer Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, GOD’s NOT DEAD, Supergirl), Lennox candidly shares the story behind his high-profile encounters with world-renowned atheists on very public debate stages. The pair travel from Oxford to Cambridge to Israel to experience firsthand what has inspired and fueled Lennox’s passion to present compelling evidence that science and history not only align with scripture but actively support the biblical narrative.
Against The Tide helps align Science with Scripture
Now, the documentary has just been awarded two nights of encore screenings in theaters nationwide. Originally launched as a one-night-only event on November 19, strong ticket sales and additional consumer demand have allowed Fathom Events to honor the film with two additional screenings on November 20 and 23.
New theaters are being added daily. Single tickets, as well as group sales options, are now available at www.againstthetide.movie.
Created by Pensmore Films and Kharis Productions, and distributed by Fathom Events, AGAINST THE TIDE is certain to be a legacy resource for homeschool groups, churches, Christian schools, and science and apologetics-loving people of faith for decades to come.
Dr. John Lennox, professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of Oxford, is an internationally renowned speaker and author.

Prof. Lennox has traveled the world defending the rationality of Christianity and belief in God, and has debated some of the world’s most prominent atheists, including Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Peter Singer, among many others. Throughout, Lennox stands firm: “Properly understood, the evidence inexorably points to the existence of a creator God.”
