Why does God allow suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Why isn't Christianity more inclusive? How can one religion be 'right' and the others 'wrong'? Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God? As the pastor of an inner-city church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced 'doubts' skeptics bring to his church, as well as the most important reasons for faith. In <i>The Reason for God</i> he addresses each doubt and explains each reason. Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity, with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.--Back cover. <br><br> Written with atheists, agnostics, and skeptics in mind, Keller also provides an intelligent platform on which true believers can stand their ground when bombarded by the backlash caused by people who promote science and secularism over religion and faith.--Publisher.
