The Reason for God

“It is easy to understand [Timothy Keller’s] appeal.” -The New York Times“In a flood of bestsellers by skeptics and atheists…Keller stands out as an effective counterpoint and defender of the faith. The Reason for God makes a tight, accessible case for reasoned religious belief.” -The Washington Post “It’s a provocative premise, in pursuit of which Keller…takes on nonbelievers from evolutionary biologists to the recent rash of atheist authors.” -The Boston Globe “Reverend Tim Keller [is] a Manhattan institution, one of those open urban secrets, like your favorite dim sum place, with a following so ardent and so fast-growing that he has never thought to advertise.” -New York magazine “An intellectually compelling case for God.” -Publishers Weekly “I thank God for him.” -Billy Graham

Timothy Keller was born and raised in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary.
