An intelligent, intellectually rigorous examination of why the Christian faith still makes sense in an age of scepticism.

Why does God allow suffering in the world? 
How could a loving God send people to Hell? 
Why isn't Christianity more inclusive? 
How can one religion be "right" and the others be "wrong"?
Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?

As the pastor of an inner-city church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced 'doubts' sceptics bring to his church, as well as the most important reasons for faith. In THE REASON FOR GOD, he addresses each doubt and explains each reason.Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.

"Believers will rejoice in a book that carefully and patiently answers the objections of their skeptical friends and does so with grace and in a way consistent with the Bible. Skeptics will see that even their skepticism is founded on some kind of faith and will be challenged to discern those underlying beliefs. May this book convince us all that we can believe and can believe reasonably, even in this age of skepticism." - Tim Challies www.challies.com

"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 sceptics 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." — Publishers Weekly

"Tim Keller's ministry in New York City is leading a generation of seekers and skeptics toward belief in God. I thank God for him." — Billy Graham

'This is the book I give to all my friends who are serious spiritual seekers or sceptics.'
— Rick Warren, author if The Purpose Driven Life
