Dr John Lennox is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Oxford. His achievements and debates are documented in Wikipedia.

He believes in evolution with divine intervention, but usually does not mention this in his frequent debates defending Christianity against atheists.

Ken Ham's "Answers in Genesis" documents his objections to Lennox's teachings here. At this page you can also see a three minute extract from Lennox's debate with Richard Dawkins in 2008, in which Dawkins pushes Lennox to state his acceptance of evolution more clearly that in he does in his entire book against evolution, "God's Undertaker?"

Lennox accepts evolution

When pushed to admit what he believes, Lennox describes a concept of evolution in which God intervenes on occasion. Here is a transcript (taken from [1] at 53:26.)
