Jenni and I recently watched The Reason for God: Conversations on Faith and Life (Zondervan, November 2010).
It’s a stimulating two-hour DVD with six sessions (and a corresponding discussion guide ):
- Isn’t the Bible a Myth? Hasn’t Science Disproved Christianity?
- How Can You Say There Is Only One Way to God? What About Other Religions?
- What Gives You the Right to Tell Me How to Live My Life? Why Are There So Many Rules?
- Why Does God Allow Suffering? Why Is There So Much Evil in the World?
- Why Is the Church Responsible for So Much Injustice? Why Are Christians Such Hypocrites?
- How Can God Be Full of Love and Wrath at the Same Time? How Can God Send Good People to Hell?
Keller models how to discuss Christianity with non-Christians. The DVD corresponds, of course, to Keller’s New York Times bestseller The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism (New York: Dutton, 2008).
D. A. Carson, “Editorial,” Themelios 34 (2009): 157:
In the world of Christian apologetics, I know no one more gifted in this Popperian form of argumentation than Tim Keller. Witness his The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism (New York: Dutton, 2008). Keller manages to construct his opponents’ arguments in such a way that they are more powerful and devastating than when the opponents themselves construct them. And then he effectively takes them apart. No one feels abused, precisely because he has treated their stances more ably than they can themselves.
