Reason for God

I've been listening to a series called "The Reason for God, Believe in an Age of Skepticism" by Tim Keller and I have found it very enlightening.

Below are topics he covers in his book and audio CD.



Why does God allow suffering in the world?

How could a loving God send people to Hell?

Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive?

How can one religion be “right” and the others “wrong”?

Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?

These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today. As the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his church as well as the most important reasons for faith. And in The Reason for God, he addresses each doubt and explains each reason.

Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning 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.

If your interested in hearing Tim, he did a series at church on his book and can be listened to on his website.

Additionally, he gave a short speech at google on his book and can be watched on youtube.
