Publisher's summary

The End of Faith. The God Delusion. God Is Not Great. Letter to a Christian Nation. Best seller lists are filled with doubters. But what happens when you actually doubt your doubts?

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.

Critic reviews

"It is easy to understand [Timothy Keller's] appeal." (The New York Times)

"In a flood of best sellers 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)

best book for someone searching for answers

great for Christians solidifying their theology or wanting questions answered from college discussions and for any person wanting to find genuine truth. the style and evidence cited makes the piece extremely understandable and a fun to listen to.

Absolutely profound

Anyone and everyone, whether seeking or skeptical should listen. Such great insight to sharing and explaining the Gospel to the modern age.

Thoughtful, solidly read by author

Thoughtful, succinct, conversational reasoning about faith, from an intellectual Reformed Protestant perspective. Whether you think you agree or disagree, expect to be intrigued and challenged by Keller.

Excellent

I felt like this was a wonderful, comprehensive overview of the most common arguments against Christian faith. Responses were explained in a thoughtful, biblical way. I appreciated the care and thoroughness that was given to each topic. Will definitely be listening to/reading this many times again.

Wow!

Such a fascinating work by a really great man. Keller is the kind of author that you can really be strengthened by even if you don’t agree with him on everything. I highly recommend this book.

Extraordinary message

Tim Keller puts out the Reasons for God in a loving and non-judge mental way. He uses History and scholarly references plus a hefty portion of compassion. Absolutely loved this book and will read it again

Excellent!

Tim Keller explains the Reason For God with clarity and compassion. God is real and His love for people is real.

Thought provoking

Loved it and kept me interested the whole time. The author was very logical and referenced a lot of other great authors.

Excellent!

Timothy Keller presents strong and logical arguments for the existence of God and the claims of Christianity in this excellent book. I would strongly recommend it for Christians and non Christians alike. The narration of his own book is also excellent. I finished this book and am writing this review the day after Timothy’s passing. I am sad that he is absent from us but rejoice that he is present with the Lord and am grateful for the impact he has had on my life and on the lives of so many others.

Life changing

I am already a believer, but so many of the questions I have had regarding God were answered here, recommend reading!
