Timothy Keller, Timothy J. Keller: The Reason for God (Hardcover, 2008, Dutton Adult)

The End of Faith. The God Delusion. God Is Not Great. Letter to a Christian …

A well thought out case

It has been a long while since I've encountered newer book that both takes a stand but also understands its limitations. Sometimes a book like this assumes a sympathetic audience and thus takes short cuts or takes certain things for granted. The other extreme is also unhelpful - that is a text that gets overwhelmed by the limitations of faith and thus makes no stand at all. While I'm not sure of some of the details, I can appreciate The Reason for God's approach. Keller is particularly strong when it comes to covering the case in favor of his faith rather than detracting from others. This is not simply a matter of propriety. The argument is just stronger when focused on Christianity - probably because it's what Keller is most familiar with.
