In The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism Timothy Keller addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics and non-believers bring to religion. Using literature, philosophy, anthropology, pop culture, and intellectual 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 against the backlash toward religion spawned by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God. Keller is the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City.

A New York Times bestseller people can believe in-by a “pioneer of the new urban Christians” (Christian Today magazine).
Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, talks about his new book, The Reason for God.
The Prodigal God
Newsweek called New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller a “C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century” in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation for why we should believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the Prodigal Son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation.
Within that parable, Jesus reveals God’s prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.
Jesus’ message is not about religion or irreligion, morality or immorality, conservative or liberal. His message is about creating a new human community, a unique human society. It restores a relationship with God and builds a relationship with others.
