In this book, Jake Meador diagnoses our society's decline as the failure of a particular story we've told about ourselves: the story of modern liberalism. He shows us how that story has led to our collective loss of meaning, wonder, and good work, and then recovers each of these by grounding them in a different story - a story rooted in the deep tradition of the Christian faith.

It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the greatest hindrances to doing justice. Isn't it full of regressive views? Didn't it condone slavery? Why look to the Bible for guidance on how to have a more just society? But Timothy Keller, pastor of New York City's Redeemer Presbyterian Church, sees it another way. In Generous Justice, Keller explores a life of justice empowered by an experience of grace: a generous, gracious justice.

Most people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with the book of Jonah: a rebellious prophet defies God and is swallowed by a whale.

In this dynamic new audiobook, New York pastor and best-selling author Tim Keller explores the biblical understanding of hope. A profound grasp of what we are hopeful for, he argues, can reenergise and transform us personally; can help us face death; can influence our community practices with regard to sex, money and power; and can even be applied globally to renew our culture.

Unpredictable yet reliable, gentle yet powerful, authoritative yet humble, human yet divine. Respected pastor and best-selling author Tim Keller takes a deep and thought-provoking look at the life of Christ. Drawing from Mark's Gospel, he explains how Jesus' identity as king and his purpose in dying on the cross have meaning and significance on a cosmic scale as well as for the individual.

The New Testament begins not with a dramatic narrative or lofty poetry but with a genealogy. Provocatively, Matthew's Gospel includes women in Jesus' family line - something that wasn't customary in an ancient culture, where women were largely powerless and uninfluential. In this surprising take on the Christmas story, Tim Keller reveals how, by focusing on the women in Jesus' birth narratives, a colourful, scandalous and refreshing tale of grace emerges.

Ist der Beruf nur "Job" zum Broterwerb, in dem man sich anständig verhalten und, sofern Christ, möglichst Zeugnis von seinem Glauben ablegen sollte?

Tim Keller wendet in seiner unnachahmlichen Art biblische Weisheit auf unser Leben an und gibt inspirierende Antworten auf die zentralen Fragen.

Unsere moderne Kultur will uns glauben machen, dass es bei der Ehe vor allem darum geht, dass man verliebt ist und dass man "den Passenden" gefunden hat. Und aus "bis dass der Tod uns scheidet" ist geworden: "Solange meine Bedürfnisse befriedigt werden." Solange wir nicht fähig sind, die Ehe durch die Brille der Bibel zu betrachten und nicht durch die engen Sehschlitze unserer Kultur, werden wir nicht in der Lage sein, fundierte Entscheidungen über unsere eigene eheliche Zukunft zu treffen.

[Übersetzt und herausgegeben von Restauratio - www.restauratio.org] Das Christentum befindet sich im Westen im Rückgang. Die Kirchen in den Vereinigten Staaten, Kanada, Australien und Europa schließen ihre Türen in immer schnellerem Tempo. Wie wird die Kirche darauf reagieren? In diesem kurzen, aber umfassenden Buch argumentiert der New-York-Times-Bestsellerautor und Pastor Timothy Keller, dass dieser Rückgang uns dazu veranlassen sollte, die Mission der Kirche von Grund auf neu zu überdenken. Mit der frühen Kirche als Leitfaden müssen Gemeinden und einzelne Christen uns selbst, unsere...

Die Auferstehung Jesu ist das Herzstück des christlichen Glaubens. Sie bringt die Kraft Gottes, die eines Tages die Welt heilen und erneuern wird, in unser heutiges Leben.

Es ist eine Hoffnung auf Veränderung in unserem Leben und in unserer Gesellschaft - eine Hoffnung, die Christen in jeder Hinsicht verändert und jeden Aspekt unseres Lebens prägt.

Warum gibt es so viel Schmerz und Leid in der Welt? Wie können wir mit Leid, das uns persönlich trifft, umgehen, sodass wir daran nicht zerbrechen, sondern wachsen?

Ebenso zahllos sind die Bücher und Filme, die uns persönliche Geschichten über das Leid erzählen. Timothy Keller bindet beide Ebenen zusammen - und findet die Antwort in dem, was die Bibel zum Leid zu sagen hat.
