Excellent article on Tim Keller in New York Magazine. It’s amazing to me that the gospel can be preached in New York and New Yorkers are responding to it. They may not like everything they hear (as the journalist notes) but they at least giving the message a fair hearing. If jaded New Yorkers haven’t rejected the message, then there must be something of value in it.
One of the fruit of Keller’s ministry is the publication of his responses to the questions of skeptics who attended his church. His book, The Reason for God* (I know I keep plugging it, it’s that good), has been a tremendous help to the church in responding to the unanswerable questions like: why is there suffering in the world? Why does a loving God send people to hell? And responding to the charges against the church.
