This website has 7 sermons by Tim Keller from his book “The Reason for God”.

This may be premature, but I want to promote a book that is going to be critically important for taking the unchanging Christ to our changing culture.

Tim Keller has written a book entitled, The Reason for God, Belief in an Age of Skepticism. It comes out on February 14, 2008. It is written to non-Christians. This will be an important book for Sojourners to wade through, take notes on, and loan to a spiritual friend.

Here is an article that tells about it:

“How do you tell people something they probably want to know without playing into the great American hype machine? I’ve been getting so many questions about this I thought I would write a simple newsletter article to members and friends to let you know that, yes, I wrote a book.

Michaek Keller gives us a preview of Tim Keller’s new book due in Feb 08: The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism.

Introduction – All doubts are leaps of faith

Here’s an article from 2002 where Tim Keller pontificates on the Biblical theology of the city. Worth reading.

“By year 300 AD, 50% of the urban populations of the Roman empire were Christian, while over 90% of the countryside was still pagan. (Note: Some believe that the very word ’pagan’ comes from the Greek paganus meaning a farmer or man of the country.) Because Christianity captured the cities, it eventually captured the society, as must always be the case. What captivates the cities also captivates the arts, media, scholarship and the professions. Cities are the ’culture-forming wombs’ of the society, made by God to be so.”

Here are some great short videos from Redeemer Presbyterian Church (Tim Keller) on “A Global Church Planting Movement”. It is a good introduction to church planting and loving the city.

Here’s an article from Tim Keller, written in 1991, on How You Can Know God.

He points out that

“Many of us avoid the yawning emptiness through busyness or denial, but at best there is just a postponement” …. and goes on to argue there several ways to respond to this:

By blaming the things themselves – by finding fault in everyone and everything around you. You believe that a better spouse, a better career, a better boss or salary would finally yield the elusive joy. Many of the most successful people of the world are like this – bored, discontented, running from new thing to new thing, often changing counselors, mates, partners, or settings.
