The End of Faith. The God Delusion. God Is Not Great. Letter to a Christian Nation. Bestseller lists are filled with doubters. But what happens when you actually doubt your doubts? Although a vocal minority continues to attack the Christian faith, for most Americans, faith is a large part of their lives: 86 percent of Americans refer to themselves as religious, and 75 percent of all Americans consider themselves Christians. So how should they respond to these passionate, learned, and persuasive books that promote science and secularism over religion and faith? For years, Tim Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his Manhattan church. And in The Reason for God, he single-handedly dismantles each of them. Written with atheists, agnostics, and skeptics in mind, Keller also provides an intelligent platform on which true believers can stand their ground when bombarded by the backlash. The Reason for God challenges such ideology at its core and points to the true path and purpose of Christianity. Why is there suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive? Shouldn’t the Christian God be a god of love? How can one religion be “right” and the rest “wrong”? Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God? These are just a few of the questions even ardent believers wrestle with today. In this book, Tim Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations and reasoning, and even pop culture 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. |

 Written on September 12, 2008 Summary: It's Not About Proving God Is... Keller's work is first rate. I found myself diving deeply into this work and enjoying every aspect of it. It is true that many of his arguments are not new, rather they are just wrapped in a more modern or should I say post-modern packaging. I believe the beauty of the book is that he doesn't seek to prove God is there. Rather he presents the case that the notion that God isn't there requires a suspension of observations and known conditions of our society and world. Ultimately, he works to create doubt in the belief that God is not real. It is without a doubt that Keller works from a christocentric view and that is evident throughout his work.  Written on September 8, 2008 Summary: Kind of a Dry Read Reading this book was actually a huge factor in my becoming a Christian. Although Anthony Flew is not a Christian the fact that someone as educated and also whose aetheim was so publically intertwined with his professional life was able to admit to the existence to a higher being made me reconsider my aethiestic paradigm that I had held so firmly to. That said this book is boring, it reads like a disertation but I am sure glad I read it because it changed my life! Written on September 6, 2008 Summary: Thought-provoking. Timothy Keller's THE REASON FOR GOD: BELIEF IN AN AGE OF SKEPTICISM offers questions and doubts for believers and comes from the pastor of a Presbyterian Church in New York City. His list of the most frequent doubts skeptics bring to his church - and his answers - results in an inspirational presentation written with atheists, agnostics and skeptics in mind. Religious collections as well as general-interest lending libraries will find it thought-provoking. Written on September 6, 2008 Summary: Bingo! Along with Mere Christianity by C.S.Lewis this should be required reading for all Christians of any denomination. Fills you with ammo to defend what you KNOW is true when debating with skeptics and affirms your faith. Excellent! Written on September 4, 2008 Summary: Challenging Your Doubts I don't believe we can reason our way to God but Keller's outstanding book may well shake the confidence of those who believe reason leads away from God. He gives concise rebuttals to many questions expressed by young people seeking spiritual answers in an Age of Doubt. I have shared it with those closest to me who share these struggles. It is a powerful tool for anyone sincerely pursuing ultimate truth. |
