Book 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.

This is a wonderful work of Christian apologetics. It
examines the tough questions that are asked, not just by
unbelievers, but by believers also. It also takes a look at
the arguments used to attack the Christian Faith and gives the
reader the tools to stand up for their beliefs.
The Reason for God is written in an easy to read,
understandable fashion, not just for the scholar. It is a book
that everyone should have on hand to sharpen our skills in debating
the existence of God with an unbeliever.
