A New York Times bestseller people can believe in—by "a pioneer of the new urban Christians" (Christianity Today) and the "C.S. Lewis for the 21st century" (Newsweek). Timothy Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics, and even ardent believers, have about religion. Using literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and potent reasoning, Keller explains how the belief in a Christian God is, in fact, a sound and rational one. To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand their ground against the backlash to religion created by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics, he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.

"Man. This one was good. My faith feels more grounded. I feel like I've worked through doubts through reading it and my faith is stronger. It was especially nice to read through in this time of mourning. I recommend for anyone. I wish I could coerce my non Christian friends to read it too."

" Really gave me new ways of thinking of some things. "
— Kevin B, 8/9/2016" Great fodder so far. Very interesting that this book is on the new york times best seller list. "
— Sarah, 1/30/2014" Read it in conjunction with "God is not Great" by Christopher Hitchens during a class at John Brown University. Keller does a good job if pointing out relevant proofs for God both from nature/science and Scripture. "
— Lawson, 1/12/2014" Very good book. Well defended and supported. "
— Talia, 1/10/2014" A post-modern successor, but not equivalent, to C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. "
— Janet, 1/3/2014" Love it. Good fodder for the philosopher and deep thinker, yet down to earth and doesn't lose sight of the goal. "
— Jamie, 12/19/2013" A great introductory text on common questions about Christianity and a defense of the faith as a valid explanation for the world that is. I highly recommend this book as an introduction to each topic, but would also recommend going deeper as Keller's chapters are not exhaustive. "
— Jon, 12/17/2013" Great book. Enjoyed Keller's excellent insight into humankind through his pastorate in NYC. Recommend to anyone at any spiritual level. "
