A Book You Need to Read
May 16, 2008
I’m not a book promoter or publisher, and I promise not to spend much time on this blog promoting books, but it’s hard to resist this one. Tim Keller’s recent publication, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism is a worthy read no matter your view or position on Christianity. He spends the first 7 chapters answering our culture’s biggest questions about faith like “Does a good God send people to hell,” “What about suffering and evil,” “Christian Hypocrisy,” and others. The second half of the book offers logical, philosophical, practical, and scientific reasons that warrant belief in the Christian God. While Keller’s arguments resound with deep thinking, his presentation is winsome, accessible, warm, and personal. If you are a non-Christian, you need to think through Keller’s arguments if you’re going to be intellectually honest with yourself. If you’re a Christian this book will deepen your faith and give further evidence that it takes more faith to be an atheist than a Christian.
