The Reason for God
by Timothy Keller
Keller's Manhattan apologetics: the seven common objections (exclusivity, suffering, science, the Bible, hell, injustice done by Christians) and then the positive case. Respectful of sceptics, informed by Lewis and modern philosophy, and the best-known apologetics book of its decade.

you are a sceptic willing to hear the case made courteously.

Skip it if…
you want Lewis; Keller is Lewis's student.

Three things you will actually use
- Doubt your doubts.
- All exclusive truth claims are exclusive, including tolerance.
- The gospel is neither religion nor irreligion.
Do this first
Read the chapter addressing your strongest objection.

Apologetics for sceptics, courteously.
