The Reason for God

by Timothy J. Keller

First published 2008

Tim Keller tackles the hardest questions skeptics bring to his Manhattan church. Drawing from years of compiling frequent doubts, he systematically addresses each challenge to Christian faith. Keller responds to questions that plague believers and nonbelievers alike: Why does suffering exist? How can a loving God condemn people to Hell? Why isn't Christianity more inclusive? How can one religion claim exclusive truth? Why have wars been fought over religious beliefs? Using literature, philosophy, real conversations, reasoning, and popular culture, Keller builds his case that Christian faith represents a rational belief system. He writes specifically for atheists, agnostics, and skeptics while giving believers solid ground to stand on when facing criticism. The book offers intellectual integrity and deep compassion for truth seekers.
