Non-Fiction Religion
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.
