Reason For God, The: Belief In An Age Of Scepticism (B-format)
At a time when scientists and critics such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens are questioning the validity of religion, this book uses literature, philosophy and reason to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief.
Timothy Keller, pastor of an inner-city New York church, looks at some of the most widespread accusations levelled at Christianity, including
- Christianity's claim of exclusivity;
- how a good God could allow suffering;
- why the Church is responsible for injustice;
- if science has disproved religious belief.
This book has been written for believers and non-believers, sceptics and churchgoers, and charts a brilliantly considered and impassioned path to Christianity - a Mere Christianity for the twenty-first century.

Timothy J Keller
Timothy Keller was born in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He became a Christian at university, was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in America and worked as a pastor for nine years.
He was asked to start Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhatten, New York in 1989, and under his leadership the church's congregation experienced unprecedented growth from 50 to 5000 members. His target audience consists mainly of urban professionals, whom he believes exhibit disproportionate influence over the culture and its ideas.
The "Influentials" Issue of New York Magazine featured Dr. Keller as "the most successful Christian evangelist in the city by recognising that young professionals and artists are "disproportionately influential" in creating the country's culture and that you have to meet this coveted demographic on its own terms."
Timothy Keller is renowned for his clear, reasoned approach to Christian apologetics and his book THE REASON FOR GOD: BELIEF IN AN AGE OF SKEPTICISM was named Book of the Year for 2008 by World Magazine.
His other books/and or courses include: Ministries of Mercy: The Call of the Jericho Road; Counterfeit Gods, The Prodigal God and Generous Justice.
Timothy Keller lives in New York City with his wife Kathy and sons David, Michael and Jonathan.
