About this listen

 Is it really reasonable to believe in Christianity?
Challenging the assumption that religion is irrelevant in a world where empirical proof is the basis of our reasonings, Timothy Keller, author of New York Times bestseller The Reason for God reverses the question:
Isn't secular thinking just another set of beliefs?

Keller puts secularism under the intellectual scrutiny that is usually applied to religion. With a compelling knowledge of the secular belief system and a clarity of logic, Keller opens a conversation between writers such as Nietzsche or C.S. Lewis to reflect on meaning, hope, freedom, satisfaction, identity and justice.

'If you think Christianity doesn't hold much promise of making sense to a thinking person, then this book is written for you.' Timothy Keller

Keller does not aim to prove God's existence, but his methodical approach powerfully calls into question the basis of many commonly held secular views. Written for both sceptic and believer, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound relevance of Christianity in our modern lives.


'This is the book which convinced me of the truth of Christianity. if you want an overview of the main arguments for the existence of God and the truth of the core of the Christian message, this is a good place to start.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'The first Christian apologetics book I've read that's actually written to (and for) the "intellectually enlightened skeptic." Keller delivers such a blistering critique of secularism that I was shook to my core. This book will make you think a lot.' Goodreads reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Lots of gold nuggets that will leave you mulling it over for days!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Very in-depth book which allows the reader to make their own mind up based on the facts. A must read for everyone who is seeking the truth.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Over the years, Keller became not just a Christian apologist but a sophisticated critic of secular liberalism, especially its worship of personal autonomy as the highest good.' The Atlantic©2016 Timothy Keller Christian Living Christianity

Critic Reviews

This new book from Tim Keller is the follow-up to the hugely successful The Reason for God and particularly addresses those that believe that Christianity lacks any cultural relevance. He tackles their objections, compares Christianity to secularism, and addresses many 'mis-beliefs' that have arisen over what Christianity is, or what Christians believe.
Any book by Timothy Keller is a worthwhile read and this one will not disappoint.... The book certainly makes a lot of sense of mankind in relation to God... well worth a read and a reread.

Written as a prelude to Reasons for God, this book helps make sense of God and address many barriers to faith that people might have. Highly recommended

Great help to make sense of God

I’ve read a number of books arguing for the existence of God and the credibility of Christianity, this rates amongst the best, as it very effectively peals back thought, both religious and secular and presents things as they actually are. If you’re looking into faith or at all curious about the question of God, I’d highly recommend this book.

Best book I’ve found exploring faith and God

Very logical and persuasive arguments to support the Christian faith and Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Another must read/listen classic by Tim Keller.

I have listened to/ read many different books on wether or not God exists. I have also watched dozens of lectures and debates on the issue. This book is by far more intellectual, intelligently nuanced and thoroughly thought through than any other book I have read on this subject including any of Dawkins works. I highly recommend to anybody seriously interested in the subject.

One of the best books I have listened to
