THE REASON FOR GOD

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.
