6 Days until "The Reason for God".

Tim Keller's new book "The Reason for God" comes out February 14th. You can order on amazon.com. This is one of the books I am most excited for this year. Keller's thoughts on how to respond to the doubts/questions our culture has about Christianity have come out of 20 years of ministering to real people in NYC. Isn't this the best way to do our theology? Not as a mere intellectual challenge, but growing out of the things re
al people are wrestling with deeply. It seems like this produces a more humane, usable, humble theology, which is exactly what theology should be.

Redeemer Presbyterian has released a some sermons of Keller preaching on things he writes about in the book. If you can't wait until the 14th you might check these out.

Sermons:
Exclusivity: How can there be just one true religion?
Suffering: If God is good, how can there be so much evil in the world?
Absolutism: Don't we all have to find the truth or ourselves?
Injustice: Hasn't Christianity been an instrument for oppression?
Hell: Isn't the God of Christianity and angry judge?
Doubt: What should I do with my doubt?
Literalism: Isn't the Bible historically unreliable and regressive?
