Tim Keller Wrote a Book
Over the summer I mentioned that Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, was finishing a book. Well, it’s done. It’s scheduled to be released in February. It’s entitled The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism (Penguin Press). He’s been working on it for a few years and it’s, essentially, an apologetic for the Christian faith. Uniquely, it is not a book on apologetics but an actual apologetic. Doubt, he contends rightly, is as much of a faith committment, as believing the Gospel is. And he persuasively argues for the intelligibility, plausibility, and beauty of the Gospel. Given the rise of popular atheism, this book promises to be a tour de force and a true “a word in season” for the public. In fact, he so wants to reach the world of unbelief, skepticism, and doubt, that he went with a large, secular publisher. You can read Tim’s own description of the book and why he wrote it here.
