Is it really reasonable to believe in Christianity?
Challenging the assumption that religion is irrelevant in a world where empirical proof is the basis of our reasonings, Timothy Keller, author of New York Times bestseller The Reason for God reverses the question:
Isn’t secular thinking just another set of beliefs?
Keller puts secularism under the intellectual scrutiny that is usually applied to religion. With a compelling knowledge of the secular belief system and a clarity of logic, Keller opens a conversation between writers such as Nietzsche or C.S. Lewis to reflect on meaning, hope, freedom, satisfaction, identity and justice.
‘If you think Christianity doesn’t hold much promise of making sense to a thinking person, then this book is written for you.’ Timothy Keller
Keller does not aim to prove God’s existence, but his methodical approach powerfully calls into question the basis of many commonly held secular views. Written for both sceptic and believer, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound relevance of Christianity in our modern lives.
‘This is the book which convinced me of the truth of Christianity. if you want an overview of the main arguments for the existence of God and the truth of the core of the Christian message, this is a good place to start.’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘The first Christian apologetics book I’ve read that’s actually written to (and for) the “intellectually enlightened skeptic.” Keller delivers such a blistering critique of secularism that I was shook to my core. This book will make you think a lot.‘ Goodreads reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Lots of gold nuggets that will leave you mulling it over for days!’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Very in-depth book which allows the reader to make their own mind up based on the facts. A must read for everyone who is seeking the truth.’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Over the years, Keller became not just a Christian apologist but a sophisticated critic of secular liberalism, especially its worship of personal autonomy as the highest good.’ The Atlantic

Any book by Timothy Keller is a worthwhile read and this one will not disappoint.... The book certainly makes a lot of sense of mankind in relation to God... well worth a read and a reread.
This new book from Tim Keller is the follow-up to the hugely successful The Reason for God and particularly addresses those that believe that Christianity lacks any cultural relevance. He tackles their objections, compares Christianity to secularism, and addresses many 'mis-beliefs' that have arisen over what Christianity is, or what Christians believe.
