Description:

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 know the truth.

4A must read for anyone interested in the existence of a greater Power  Nov 21, 2009
Keller does a nice job capturing naysayers' arguments against the existence of God. Particularly noteworthy was the relationship between science and God. Our minds today know much more about scientific reasons for why we exist, but I love how this strengthened Keller's belief in Christ.

I felt the 1st half of the book (debunking skeptics' arguments against God)was much stronger than the case made for God in the 2nd half. I compare this to a defense attorney proving his client is not guilty, but not providing enough ammunition for proving that his client is "innocent."

Overall, a thoroughly though-provoking book for anyone regardless of belief. Arguments could be more robust, but an effective effort by Keller at tackling a controversial topic.

5I loved this book...  Nov 01, 2009
I thoroughly enjoyed the content and tone of this book. I've since bought three copies to send as resources to young ministers interested in church planting. I'd highly recommend it to those interested in graceful responses to skeptics or those hostile to the faith.

5well done!  Oct 31, 2009
I'm reading this book alongside "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist". The two are complementary, similar but enough different to warrant buying them both. I recommend it!

5God has a reason and a reality  Oct 20, 2009
This book explains why God is reality and atheism is the product of those who lack spritual awareness. I understand what the Bible is saying and why His guiding hand is essential. Read this book if you want to know how to live eternally.

5Great book.  Oct 19, 2009
This is a great book. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has life questions. It gives great explanations for people wrestling with the existence of God. Great book. 5 stars.
