Critics Review
“Fifty years from now, if
Praise for Timothy Keller and Jesus the King
“Much of Redeemer is remarkably traditional. What is not traditional is Dr. Keller’s skill in speaking the language of his urbane audience … Observing Dr. Keller’s professorial pose on stage, it is easy to understand his appeal.” —The New York Times
“Fifty years from now, if … Christians are widely known for their love of cities, their commitment to mercy and justice, and their love of their neighbors, Tim Keller will be remembered as a pioneer of the new urban Christians.” —Christianity Today
“In discussing the identity of Jesus, the author describes him as a man both deeply embedded within his culture and times while also living counter to them in many ways… . The author describes a man aware of his upcoming sacrifice, and indeed, a man in continual sacrifice, as he had descended from heaven to live on earth. Captivating reading from a Christian perspective.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Keller engages the reader with astute pastoral application, littered with excellent sermon illustrations… . [Jesus the King] finds Keller in familiar territory: producing another great book, leaving readers from atheist to Christian grappling with the nature and implications of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” —Michael Johnson, DesiringGod.org
“This is the book where Tim Keller hits his stride as an author… . Keller directs readers’ gazes toward the cross and will not allow them to look away.” —Collin Hansen, The Gospel Coalition
