Editorial Review: Product Description: The End of Faith. The God Delusion. God Is Not Great. Letter to a Christian Nation. Bestseller lists are filled with doubters. But what happens when you actually doubt your doubts? Although a vocal minority continues to attack the Christian faith, for most Americans, faith is a large part of their lives: 86 percent of Americans refer to themselves as religious, and 75 percent of all Americans consider themselves Christians. So how should they respond to these passionate, learned, and persuasive books that promote science and secularism over religion and faith? For years, Tim Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his Manhattan church. And in The Reason for God, he single-handedly dismantles each of them. Written with atheists, agnostics, and skeptics in mind, Keller also provides an intelligent platform on which true believers can stand their ground when bombarded by the backlash. The Reason for God challenges such ideology at its core and points to the true path and purpose of Christianity. Why is there suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive? Shouldn’t the Christian God be a god of love? How can one religion be “right” and the rest “wrong”? Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God? These are just a few of the questions even ardent believers wrestle with today. In this book, Tim Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations and reasoning, and even pop culture to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - you better be willing to use your brainI was a little disappointed in this book, probably because I have listened to a lot of Tim Keller's messages and I guess I was hoping for new ideas in this book. I didn't find many points that I hadn't already heard him speak about but that doesn't mean his points aren't intelligent and helpful because they are. I was hoping to give this book to some friends, but after reading it, I think it's too intellectual for them to want to read it. It's a well written, clear, helpful book . . .expectations ... Read More Rating:  - He is risen!!In the shrewd analysis of Timothy Keller (no relation to Helen), "The Reason for God" comes down to this: "If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all he said. If he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said?" (p. 202). And that is so true! Jesus of Nazareth DID rise from the dead, so everyone can just forget about Plan B. And yet, Jesus has sometimes been criticised for not sticking it out in the tomb as long as he promised before making his ... Read More Rating: - Clear Discussion of Reason for God's ExistenceTimothy Keller has given a clear and simple discussion of the reason for God's releveance and exitence in contemporary society. As a New York pastor for the last decades, he writes with authority and compassion. I recommend this book to anyone seeking a guide to truth. Rating: - Rave ReviiewI have read this book at least three times since I purchased it. I think it is great--obviously. After reading it, I then purchased another copy for my son-in-law for an anniversary gift. Rating: - Excellent fair-minded critique of skepticismThis is a very well written book. I was very impressed by how fair-minded and non-polemical Mr. Keller was while treating subjects of peoples' beliefs or non-beliefs. He takes both today's Christians and Atheists to task while making a strong case for the traditional beliefs of orthodox Christianity. Excellent book, I really enjoyed it!
