This six-session audio Bible study captures live and unscripted conversations between Tim Keller and a group of people to address their doubts and objections to Christianity. Using literature, philosophy, and Scripture, Keller and the group explore the truth of Christianity.

Now fans of the New York Times bestseller can find resources to help them engage with those same objections, drawing on recent scholarship and debates. The Reason for God small group Bible study can be used individually, with groups, or by any believer who is engaging with friends who don't share his or her beliefs.

        This book of Christian apology is a 21st-century version of C.S. Lewis's book MERE CHRISTIANITY. It takes the major arguments against the existence of God and explodes them one at a time. Then Keller argues against various critiques of Christianity. As the pastor of a growing church in Manhattan, Keller utilizes his skill in delivering sermons to strong effect. He doesn't yell or thump his Bible. Rather, he makes his strongest points quietly. The book is extremely deep, though, and listeners are urged to take it slowly as it's harder to "re-read" complex passages. Also, Keller occasionally gets caught up in presenting philosophical arguments and has a slight tendency to speed up as he lists his points. R.C.G. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

        In this apologia for Christian faith, Keller mines material from literary classics, philosophy, anthropology and a multitude of other disciplines to make an intellectually compelling case for God. Written for skeptics and the believers who love them, the book draws on the author’s encounters as founding pastor of New York’s booming Redeemer Presbyterian Church. One of Keller’s most provocative arguments is that “all doubts, however skeptical and cynical they may seem, are really a set of alternate beliefs.” Drawing on sources as diverse as 19th-century author Robert Louis Stevenson and contemporary New Testament theologian N.T. Wright, Keller attempts to deconstruct everyone he finds in his way, from the evolutionary psychologist Richard Dawkins to popular author Dan Brown. The first, shorter part of the book looks at popular arguments against God’s existence, while the second builds on general arguments for God to culminate in a sharp focus on the redemptive work of God in Christ. Keller’s condensed summaries of arguments for and against theism make the scope of the book overwhelming at times. Nonetheless, it should serve both as testimony to the author’s encyclopedic learning and as a compelling overview of the current debate on faith for those who doubt and for those who want to re-evaluate what they believe, and why.
