The Reason for God (Timothy Keller)


Review by Waldo Malan

This book has been listed on the New York Times Top10 bestseller list, and addresses the issue of having belief in an age of scepticism. The age-old questions that is always asked by people the world over, such as “Why does God allow suffering in the world?” and “Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive?” are dealt with in a straightforward way. Keller writes, “Respectful dialogue between entrenched traditional conservative and secular liberal people is a great good, and I hope this book will promote it.” And indeed he does! Never condescending, but always honest Keller looks at Christian beliefs, but in light of other points of view, and comes to the conclusion that the Truth will prevail. So whether you are a sceptic, or just friends with some who are, this is a great read to help you discern truth from fiction.
