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.

'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

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

This book primarily focuses on the philosophical arguments for and against various concepts that underpin both Christianity and secularism. It’s a dense read and you may have to push through at times, but the last third in particularly - which outlines why should believe in a Jesus - is a great, very convincing conclusion.

A dense philosophical read but well worth it

Wonderfully clear analysis and explanation. Highly recommended. Would read any of Keller's books after this.

Excellent

As a Christian, my opinion is likely biased. I do however find Timothy Keller to be uniquely balanced and persuasive in his approach to existential questions. Worth a listen if you're interested in developing a rounded approach to the same.

Well read, well written.

Author comes up with some valuable points and debate on the topic. Food for thought.
