The Reason for God

Belief in an Age of Skepticism

Tim Keller

Author—The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. Senior Pastor—Redeemer Presbyterian Church, church link here.

Why isn't Christianity more inclusive? How can we believe in God when there's so much suffering in the world? Doesn't Christianity stifle personal freedom and destroy social cohesion? Why has the church been guilty of so much violence, injustice, and oppression? Isn't the bible culturally regressive, and historically unreliable?

These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today. As the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his church as well as the most important reasons for faith. And in The Reason for God, he addresses each doubt and explains each reason.

Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.
