"It is easy to understand [Timothy Keller's] appeal." - The New York Times "In a flood of bestsellers by skeptics and atheists...Keller stands out as an effective counterpoint and defender of the faith. The Reason for God makes a tight, accessible case for reasoned religious belief." - The Washington Post "It's a provocative premise, in pursuit of which Keller...takes on nonbelievers from evolutionary biologists to the recent rash of atheist authors." - The Boston Globe "Reverend Tim Keller [is] a Manhattan institution, one of those open urban secrets, like your favorite dim sum place, with a following so ardent and so fast-growing that he has never thought to advertise." - New York Magazine "An intellectually compelling case for God." - Publishers Weekly "I thank God for him." -Billy Graham, "It is easy to understand [Timothy Keller's] appeal." - The New York Times "In a flood of bestsellers by skeptics and atheists...Keller stands out as an effective counterpoint and defender of the faith.

Synopsis
"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 knowthe truth., In this work, 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., A New York Times bestseller people can believe in--by "a pioneer of the new urban Christians" ( Christianity Today ) and the " C.S. Lewis for the 21st century" ( Newsweek ). Timothy Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics, and even ardent believers, have about religion. Using literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and potent reasoning, Keller explains how the belief in a Christian God is, in fact, a sound and rational one. To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand their ground against the backlash to religion created by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics, he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.

The Readson for God
I would consider this an entry level book for apologetics. It is easy to understand, well written and thought provoking. The author gives today's complaints against Christianity as well as some answers. He understands the changing times in which we are living and addresses those. Good read.

Great reads for investigating Christianity.
Tim Keller's clarity and method of communicating is "par excellence". For those who want to understand the Christian faith, I cannot recommend highly enough! A prequel to this book is Making Sense of God. .. for skeptics

Killer Reasons for God; Good Reasoning from Keller
This book provides an admirable apologetic for post-modernism. It is theological, philosophical, and empirical, and often all at once. Keller has a firm grasp on the post-modern culture of the West. His intro is a challenging foray into the skepticism that seems so prevalent at present. He considers how knowledge can be both academic and experiential. He nicely bridges the gap between liberals and evangelicals. His treatment of doubt as an instigator of faith and not its enemy is a refreshing perspective indeed. He addresses both the empirical concerns of modernism and the experiential desires of post-modernity well. He considers both the rationalism and irrationalism that make up the nature of faith. He answers the standard criticisms of Christianity with sensitivity and compassion. This book was written with both believer and skeptic in mind.Read full review

The condition called for only slight pencil marking on pages but some had large corner folds and 5 or 6 of the pages, maybe more where highlighted in a bright orange. UNSATISFACTORY! They did, however, refund my payment.
