Books - The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism
|
Rating:  -
I have read this book at least three times since I purchased it. I think it is great--obviously. After reading it, I then purchased another copy for my son-in-law for an anniversary gift.

This is a very well written book. I was very impressed by how fair-minded and non-polemical Mr. Keller was while treating subjects of peoples' beliefs or non-beliefs. He takes both today's Christians and Atheists to task while making a strong case for the traditional beliefs of orthodox Christianity. Excellent book, I really enjoyed it!

This book is for skeptics, those who have been damaged by the church, doubters and seekers. It is not a plea to your emotions or a detailed Bible study... it is a quick read which covers deep questions using logic, reason and common sense. Pastor Keller does not ask you to put your brain on hold while he discusses topics like "are science and religion compatible". Instead, he encourages you to think and come to your own understanding of God. He does not avoid challenges - there are quotes from renown atheist Richard Dawkins - and in plain, easy to understand language provides clear, concise evidence for God.
As a pastor of a huge multicultural church in Manhattan, Keller also incorporates questions from many angles - cultural as well as religious. Ultimately, he brings the discussion back to the "spiritual", which to my mind reads "Where do you stand with the Eternal Creator right now?" and "If you died and had to face Him, how would you respond if He asked you why you should be allowed into His sinless, perfect heaven.
A really good read, not recommended for people who are looking for a sugar-coated God and Bible marinated in excuses and diversions.

Whether you are seeking out answers about God or a believer looking to have ready answers for why you believe, this book is a great resource. It answers arguments philsophically and gives solid arguments for God and Jesus. It poses questions for modern skeptics and defends Christian belief in this age. I believe it is a great book for our current time.

I struggled with Keller's writing from the very beginning of the book. I found his arguments superficial and lazy; he did a disservice to the subject matter. The reader is much better served reading N.T. Wright or C.S. Lewis, or the litany of responsible, thoughtful scholars out there.
