An intelligent and intellectually rigorous examination of why the Christian faith still makes sense in an age of scepticism.
As the pastor of an inner-city church in New York City, Timothy Keller compiled a list of the most frequently voiced 'doubts' skeptics brought to his church, as well as the most important reasons for faith. In this book, he addressed each doubt and provides reasoned arguments for belief.
Drawing on literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and logical reasoning, Keller explains how faith in the Christian God is a soundly rational belief - one embraced by thoughtful individuals of intellectual integrity and deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.

About Timothy Keller
Timothy Keller was born in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He became a Christian at university, was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in America and worked as a pastor for nine years. He was asked to start Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan in 1989, and under his leadership the church's congregation experienced unprecedented growth from 50 to 5,000 members. His target audience consisted mainly of urban professionals, whom he believed exhibit disproportionate influence over the culture and its ideas. The 'Influentials' Issue of New York Magazine featured Dr Keller as "the most successful Christian evangelist in the city by recognizing that young professionals and artists are 'disproportionately influential' in creating the country's culture and that you have to meet this coveted demographic on its own terms." Timothy Keller is renowned for his clear, reasoned approach to Christian apologetics and his book THE REASON FOR GOD: BELIEF IN AN AGE OF SCEPTICISM was named Book of the Year for 2008 by World Magazine. Timothy Keller died in May 2023. His wife Kathy and sons live in New York City.
Reviews for The Reason for God: Belief in an age of scepticism
In this apologia for Christian faith, Keller mines material from literary classics, philosophy, anthropology and a multitude of other disciplines to make an intellectually compelling case for God. Written for sceptics and the believers who love them, the book draws on the author's encounters as founding pastor of New York's booming Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
