 It's Not About Proving God Is... September 12, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Keller's work is first rate. I found myself diving deeply into this work and enjoying every aspect of it. It is true that many of his arguments are not new, rather they are just wrapped in a more modern or should I say post-modern packaging.
I believe the beauty of the book is that he doesn't seek to prove God is there. Rather he presents the case that the notion that God isn't there requires a suspension of observations and known conditions of our society and world. Ultimately, he works to create doubt in the belief that God is not real.
It is without a doubt that Keller works from a christocentric view and that is evident throughout his work.
 Kind of a Dry Read September 8, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
Reading this book was actually a huge factor in my becoming a Christian. Although Anthony Flew is not a Christian the fact that someone as educated and also whose aetheim was so publically intertwined with his professional life was able to admit to the existence to a higher being made me reconsider my aethiestic paradigm that I had held so firmly to. That said this book is boring, it reads like a disertation but I am sure glad I read it because it changed my life!
Thought-provoking. September 6, 2008

Timothy Keller's THE REASON FOR GOD: BELIEF IN AN AGE OF SKEPTICISM offers questions and doubts for believers and comes from the pastor of a Presbyterian Church in New York City. His list of the most frequent doubts skeptics bring to his church - and his answers - results in an inspirational presentation written with atheists, agnostics and skeptics in mind. Religious collections as well as general-interest lending libraries will find it thought-provoking.

Along with Mere Christianity by C.S.Lewis this should be required reading for all Christians of any denomination. Fills you with ammo to defend what you KNOW is true when debating with skeptics and affirms your faith. Excellent!
Challenging Your Doubts September 4, 2008

I don't believe we can reason our way to God but Keller's outstanding book may well shake the confidence of those who believe reason leads away from God. He gives concise rebuttals to many questions expressed by young people seeking spiritual answers in an Age of Doubt. I have shared it with those closest to me who share these struggles. It is a powerful tool for anyone sincerely pursuing ultimate truth.
